Aching

In an instant, I fell.

In an instant, I forgot who I was,

Who he was.

His touch was felt

In my every cell.

We could be happy …

/

But we can't.

She is glowing,

Perfect,

Just right for him.

I love them both,

A love that could never be quenched,

A love that has drilled a hole in my heart,

Forever.

/

I must smile at him,

Pretend my heart isn't in two.

They can never know,

They can never know that behind my tongue of fire

Is a soul aching

For his love.
