Is it so difficult for you
To share what you’re feeling?

You tell me everything else,
Your joys
Your troubles
Your memories
But never once have you shared
That agonizing flame of pain
As he crosses your mind.

You suppress your feelings
And you stay by his side
But both you and I know well enough—
That isn’t what you truly desire.

Though there’s nothing I can do
To ease that flame you hold
I love you more than enough
To be willing to listen
And hold your hand
As you reminisce the moments
You thought he loved you back
