When She Is Around

One of the worst pains I have ever felt is the look in his eyes when she was around.

Your presence around me

Draws a smile on my face.

But when there is she

My spirit sinks in disgrace.

It is true she has beauty

That I could never compare to.

She is better than me

In every possible virtue.

When she is around

The sparks fly in your eyes.

I dare not make a sound

I feel your love is all lies.

Inside me, I know

You both love us so.

Though it is me you have chosen,

I can't help but feeling beaten

By her eyes when she is near you.

I know you can't help loving her too.

The pain is momentary.

Later, this pain I must burry.

And in your eyes once again I see

That even with her, you still love me.

This is my most important pleasure,

It shall be one I will treasure,

For the rest of my time with you.

Yes, I can feel your love is true.

Author's Note

Lol, I know most of my poems have to do with love, but hey, that's all I have in mind. :D

Don't worry, that's mostly what's on everybody's mind. There really is no better subject.
:) I liked that this poem shows the ambivalence that can exist in relationships... the feeling of being loved, but also knowing that there is a past there...

There is a beautiful, soft grace to this one, and your words evoke a deeply personal feeling... Wonderful... And love is always a wonderful topic!
