You And Him

Never seen
Yet can't unsee 
Burning in my mind
Searing in my brain
The image of you and him

Its a punch in the gut
My breath gone
No air left for me to gasp
Just this sickening thought
The image of you and him

I said those three words
Yet my heart sank when I saw
The look on your face
It was even worse than
The image of you and him

The harder I try
The more I push you away
But I can't be aloof 
So what will I be left with?
The image of you and him

The effort so intense
Would be worth every second
But instead I'm exhausted
Close my eyes only to see
The image of you and him

Never seen
But can't unsee 
The image of you and him
