Between Two Hearts

At crossroads I am met disguised behind a mask. A gambler would bet I shall not beat the task. For I am torn in two beaten to a point. Not knowing what to do my bones are aching joints. Between the girl I love and the man that I adore. One graceful as a dove the other never bores. She sees into my eyes my pain he does sympathize. Beautiful she is a crystal rugged he does hypnotize. She is scared to be alone he feels he is unknown. Yet for her I am there and for him I do care. Would she laugh at me and would he mock me so? I am scared to wait and see for really I don’t know. Truly, I’m losing my mind hiding behind my mask. Why is strength so hard to find to walk to them and ask.
