The Words Unspoken

The words unspoken
hurt the most.
Like my ears wouldn't make
a gracious host.

Thoughts and circumstances
you keep hidden
are the ones I wanna hear,
but, by you, are the ones forbidden.

You have something with him
that we could never have.
I shouldn't be jealous,
but it makes me mad.

My worst fear
is losing you
to something I don't understand
when there's nothing I can do.

The things you don't tell me
linger in your eyes,
and, to me, my friend,
they are just as good as lies.
