This pain I feel is unbearable
I feel as though I am slipping into darkness
I want you so bad, it is killing me
This yearning, burning desire that is like fire
Scorches my soul to blackened ashes
The need to hold you close
Over powers the thought of letting you go
Can you see my torment?
I try to keep it hidden within
Yet I feel as though I may be failing
Do you feel as I do?
No, I do not believe that you do
There is so much life flowing within you
Yet beyond the happy smile, jokes, and laughs
I sense sadness within you that you cannot let pass
I sit here and imagine us happy together
But then reality kicks in and I imagine you with another
I wish that could be me you hold in your embrace
I yearn to feel the warmth that you can provide
Alas, not all wishes come true
So I will shut my eyes and dream of you
If only things were different
Then maybe you and I could be
But I will pretend nothing is wrong
And be the friend you want and need
