In the hush between our laughter,
A shadow lingers, unseen.
You speak her name with glowing eyes,
While I smile, caught in between.
Your words, a melody of hope,
Each note a silent sting.
For every dream you share with me,
Is a song I cannot sing.
I watch you chase the morning light,
Your heart so open, free.
Yet every step you take toward her,
Feels like one away from me.
I wear this mask of cheerfulness,
A friend, both true and kind.
But beneath the surface lies a storm,
A turmoil in my mind.
I wish I could be happy,
For the joy your voice conveys.
But envy wraps around my heart,
And colors all my days.
I never meant to covet,
The love you think is near.
But longing doesn't heed intent,
It thrives on silent fear.
So I sit in quiet torment,
As you share each whispered crush.
My heart a canvas painted with,
A jealous, painful hush.

A difficult situation to be in, seeing the love of your life living their life with someone else, nicely expressed and written
The feeling comes through in this poem of unfulfilled love and envy for one that captures the heart of one you desire. Well done
