Opening A Wretched Heart

About being in love with someone else

I hold your hand
But I'm avoiding your gaze
Instead I'm intertwining in my dreams
Being at one with another

She loves me in a way you'll never know
And I wish I could find the words to tell you
But I'm stalling for time before I let you go
Before all of my sorrows overflow

I'm kissing you but my eyes are open wide
Staring at her on the other side
You can keep what's left of my withering morality
She has all of my heart and soul

I look at her
Innocence masks the longing
Instead I'm kissing her in my dreams
I'm with you, a hollow sense of belonging

She adores me in a way you can't describe
I feel a sense of kindness for you
But I can't fall in love with you this time
My heart isn't yours, no placation to confide

I'm kissing you but my eyes are open wide
Staring at her on the other side
You can keep what's left of my withering morality
She has all of my heart and soul

Lovely! Innocence masks the longing. This line has got me captivated in thought, beautifully written.

This moved me. I loved the repetition and I loved how you described the experience.
Very lovely write, Jay. :)

A painful write I imagine. I could feel the turmoil. Powerful stuff.
