The One Who Isn't Mine

ShaWritesPoetry

Gazing from afar, you're laughing with him.

The joy in your eyes reflects the warmth of the moment.
And the laughter seems to echo in the air, binding you together in shared happiness.

The way your arms wrap around her,
Fitting together like a jigsaw puzzle,
Like a match made in heaven.


Couldn’t you have belonged to me?
You would gaze at me as if I were the sole bloom in your garden.
Or was that just a figment of my imagination?
Gardens are never filled with just a single flower, dear naive girl.


The way his voice sends shivers down my spine.
It could only mean one thing, right?
Gazing from afar, hoping he'd be mine,
Lord, why did he have to be so fine?


Every night, dreaming of an unforeseen kiss,
Awakening to the truth that he belongs to her.
His gaze is filled with pure affection.
Regrettably, that love is not directed at me.


From a distance, I long for you to be with me.
But hoping you find comfort in someone else's embrace.
Yet, I question if that’s truly what I desire.

    This poem raises questions of what love is as reflected in the last line. In this poem my favorite line is "Gardens are never filled with just a single flower, dear naive girl." a great comment about the fidelity of man.
