What I Want To Say, But Can'T

How can I tell you I love you, 
When I’m in love with someone else. 
Including you. 
I know not the other, 
But I do know that I love her. 

Including you. 
It’s as if I’m like an ocean, 
Stuck between two majestic rocks. 
Crashing in between them but, 
Never really setting foot on their holy shores. 


My heart skips around with, 
Joy when I see her. 
When I see you my heart beats, 
Like the beats to a real love song. 
It cries and smiles like, 
A parent setting their eyes on their new born child. 


I need you, like a root needs soil to survive. 
And I, 
Need her like the soil needs water to feed the roots. 
What can I say then, 
I need the both of you like match’s needs candles, 
To light away the ever growing darkness. 


That is in my heart.
