You'Re the Best Husband

Today I died inside. I saw you kiss her. Don't try to deny. You kissed her on the lips. I saw a bit of fire in her eyes. You love her? When you look at her your eyes light up. As if she has put stars in your eyes. The stars that I once gave you. The ones you lost so long ago. I want her to leave you alone. But I see this cannot happen. She loves you. As much or more then me. You love her, I see it in your eyes. As I laid awake last night, I heard you say her name. Crying it in your sleep. I'm guessing she doesnt know about me. What happens when she knows? Will she leave you with a broken heart? I dont mean to impose. I wish I could speak to you. I wish I could tell you to go. Why was I hurt? Why I am this way? I can think but do no such thing as move. Go! I want to scream. You love her! Dont waste anymore of your life on me! She thinks I am your sister. That you're just taking care of me. You're such a nice brother, she thinks. But little does she know. You're the best husband.
