Ahead of you but in the shadows

Ok. I know you
Don't see me the 
Way I see you. 
But don't you know when
Your sad it makes me sad too.
And when your happy 
it makes me glad.

Watching you
Fight through your
Anger issues I wish 
Every time that I 
could hold You through.
And darlin don't you
Know when there's 
Light in your eyes 
It drives the darkness
Far from mine.

I know I shouldn't feel this 
Way but the feelings 
I have for you are 
To deep to escape and 
Because I'm always 
In the shadows Im
Sorry but you'll never
Know... My hearts to
Bruised to let it go.

This poem beautifully captures a complex and poignant emotion, a love thats in the shadows. The raw vulnerability and heartfelt expression are truly touching. The lines about wanting to "hold you through" your anger issues and the way your happiness can dispel the darkness in their own life are incredibly tender. This poem is a testament to the enduring power of love, even when it remains unspoken. It's a beautiful and honest expression of a heart that's both hopeful and wounded. -R.S
