of love and faith

a poem for people who are coping with a silent heartbreak.

I remember the days...
when my mind was intoxicated with thoughts of you...
thoughts of a forever with only you...
a paradise where our love existed...

I laugh as I look back...
I was merely hoping on a daydream...
I knew that this dream would never be part of my reality...
blinded by my love..I thought of this farce of a relationship that we had...

I never thought i'd be jealous...
jealous of seeing you with another...
I asked myself...why him? why not me?
I smile as my heart weeps...

I could have loved you...
I could have died for you...
I could have given my very soul to you...

but...no matter how intense my love for you was...
we could never be...
so now i wave goodbye, i smile as my heart weeps...
as the night arrives, and the two of you kiss...

I walk away...
never looking back...
all this time i wasted...
on nothing more than a stupid fantasy...

phantom of my love...
I unmask you...
as you lose your allure...
my love for you dies...
