Tortured Thoughts of a Confused Lover

If only there was some way
For me to express the passion that flows through these veins
To show you that I truly care
I wish there was some simple way that I could give to you my heart
Without saying a thing
I wish there was some little way,
That I could peek into yours,
To see what’s really painted on the walls of your beautiful soul
I’ve gained some semblance of your trust
But I know I am far from ever receiving any kind of love
I know that you may even just think of me
As a tool to steady you on this tortured path through life
But know this,
Deep down I love you,
And I couldn’t care less of how you treat me
So long as I can be near
So long as you allow me
To gaze deeply into those luminescent eyes of yours
I know this seems kind of pathetic
But you truly don’t understand
That my heart is sitting there in the palm of your hand
I wish you could look down and see it
Instead of getting so angry and curling your hand into a fist
Crushing the life out of me with every angry word flung
I wish like a fool for that which can never be
For your heart
Sadly
Belongs to another
Someone I know
Someone I respect
Someone whom I would not tear you away from
For I know that that which I offer,
Will never be as appealing to you
As that which he can always offer to you.
