Invisible To Her Heart

Within the shadow of her light, it's hard to watch an angel cry. Yet how can I not feel her hurt; when for her, I'd willingly die? Silhouetted against the moon, her beauty makes it hard to cope. And invisible to her heart, I haunt the far fringes of hope. Blinded by her aura's splendor, I find I cannot look away. She makes the brightest sunrise seem, so ordinary and blasé. Drowning within every tear spilt, my heart sinks when she's feeling bad. And though she doesn't know I care, I cringe inside when she is sad. But I'm her secret admirer, for she's married to my best friend. And we once took a solemn oath; that we'd be brothers to the end. (Quatrain) 8/29/2015
