The Outside Observer

He's an outsider to the pain I feel Oblivious and happy- When with her Like a thief in the night I want to steal His heart But it was never mine from the start I watch This time the outsider An invisible particle of air All the fire Extinguished out of me Pathetic and lonely My feelings unspared A smile etched on my face So that the hurt is never showcased

Brilliant ending! I have been in the same spot where I try to smile-it-off when deep-down I'm really angry. Bet it's good to get it off your chest though, eh?
