my love's best friend

[sheit]

i find it ironic
how we search
(with eyes so blind)
for love
in all the wrong places
yet when it comes
one quiet day
knocking ever so gently
impatient
we brush it away
slam our doors
(there's no time for fun and games!)

this asinine routine
we all follow
breaks my heart
we allow our lives to escape us
wasted
on fear
and self-made discontent

i watched in helpless disbelief
as the deafening distance
stretched itself
uncomfortable
uninvited
between our heavy hearts
in solemn dismay
i felt
the hollowness of your touch
i saw
the vacant llok of familiarality invade your eyes
(so beautiful!)
i shuddered violently
as the enveloping warmth
slipped
from
your kiss
meanwhile i woefully whisper
to my empty arms
(worry not...)

and so now
i shall do
the only thing i can
to save us
kill my own spirit
carefully i shall sever the ties
that bound you to my side
(that i selfishly knotted)
for i was too blind
to see you never
promised me anything
(were my eyes even opened?)

your heart's liberation
from mine own
shall be granted
to you it shall be returned
while at least our hearts
remain intact--
before they become impaired
before they decay
fall prey
to the apathy of one another's mouths
before they become scarred
by resentment
never to love
nor able to feel love
again

and here i am
once more
sacrificing my own happiness
for that of another
(one day i'll put myself first)

but until that day
my plight remains
i am doomed to play
the role at which i have become so accustomed
(it was written just for me)
simply
my love's
best
friend
