This is a poem about wanting what you can't have.
"Confused, With My Head Ducked in Shameful Laughter"

Watching you,
The two of you,
I can’t help but want to be her.

It’s not that I want to replace her,
What you two have is truly unique—
I just want to have that bit of you.

I want you to joke with me—
Be able to know,
That when I go home—
You’ll be my companion—

Sing with me,
The way that you sing with her.
Be mine for those moments,
Only those moments.

Play the simple words,
Whisper to me—
Even to tell me,
"Darling, you’re doing it all wrong."
I don’t care.
Whisper.

It’s not that I’m in love with you,
I never have been,
Never will—
But I do love you—

And sometimes,
Sometimes—
I just want to be yours.

Smirk at my Musings,
I’m confused—

Not that I’m in love with you,
Never have been—
Never will.
