The Weight of His Smile

August/September 2024


I catch his smile, and my heart skips,

But guilt floods in, like sinking ships.

For every glance, I feel the strain,

A quiet joy wrapped tight in pain.


I wish it wasn’t him I see


In dreams and thoughts that torture me.


For in his eyes, there’s a warmth, a light,


But it’s not mine to claim outright.


You love him too, and I can’t bear

The weight of feelings I shouldn’t share.

So every laugh, every word, I hide,

Burying secrets deep inside.


It eats at me, this quiet war,

What could be less, and nothing more.

For though I long, I choose to stay,

A silent friend, the honest way.
