My Lovely Burden

Your eyes seem to bore into mine.
When I'm with you there is no time.

My stomach turns with butterflies.
These tiny feelings spell demise.

Your presence is intoxicating.
Around you I forget everything.

My heart grows light when you smile.
Loving you is no hard trial.

I close my eyes and just pretend.
That with you my heart could mend.

My fingers long to intertwine.
Because of you I write this rhyme.

My arms ache to hold you close.
It's this thought I want most.

We laugh and joke and run around.
You're the greatest guy I've ever found.

Reality comes crashing down.
I wake up only to find I've drown.

Your gentle smiles and friendly hugs.
On my heart strings do they tug.

Your affections are not aimed my way.
I swallow hard and try to stay.

I've lived with this pain many times before.
I'm just very glad she's not a w-hore.

I'll wipe my eyes and look away.
I'm doing my best to try and stay.

Your love for her is completely plain.
Hanging out is not the same.

I'll smile and pretend that I don't care.
Steal you from her I would never dare.

You broke my heart and don't even know.
I'll give you a hug and hide my sorrow.

I'll pick up the pieces and try to forget.
And pray for a guy that I have not met.
