Oh How I Wish

Seeing the pride in his eyes

When he talks about his wife and kids,

Just breaks my heart.

I never intended to feel this way about him!

The day I met him,

Before I knew he had a family,

My soul reached out

As if it were him I had longed for

All my existence;

As if it were him my soul had searched for

Since the beginning of time.

But I never thought I’d see him again

After that night;

Never expected us to meet up again.

But we did,

And my heart has never felt so good;

My soul has never felt so whole.

How can I feel this way

For someone who can never be mine?

How can I long to spend time with him,

When I know we can never be

More than just friends?

How do I make my heart stop

Feeling these emotions?

How do I get my soul

To forget this state of Nirvana?

 

I hear him talk about his family life,

Oh how I wish it could include me…

Dramatic, but cliche. It's a writing that would sound and look better written in prose. As a poem it screams full of banalities. Although, of course, it's an expression of soul's reflections in one's mind, it's sad, confusing and very much arguable. It's a difficult and frustrating situation, that is well pictured, but try writing it in prose - it could widen the perspectives and let you improve.
