• Hiding in the shadows
    Watching, waiting
    I see you walk in
    Silently debating

    Should I approach you?
    The feelings baiting
    Then she walks in
    The one you are dating

    My eyes never leave her
    Burning, hating
    Your eyes fill with love
    Your lover, placating

    This doesn’t change things
    The pain is still grating
    I need to get stronger
    Emotional armour plating

    How can I begrudge you
    The life you’re creating
    I smile sadly
    My rage not deflating

    You smile at her
    Practically salivating
    You dance close to her
    Hips gyrating

    I feel my heart breaking
    Its excrutiating
    Its not your fault
    I wish i was hallucinating

    I hide in the shadows
    My hatred culminating
    I have to end the temptation
    For vociferating

    I sit in my corner
    Hyperventilating
    I close my eyes
    Im through investigating

    I up and leave
    Quietly vacating
    You will never be mine
    This I’m silently stating
