Concealed Traveler
My heart
completely shattered
watching you
long for her
Tears sting my eyes
as you cleverly
avoid them
fearing I may see
your truth
Sadness oozes
from your pores
letting my
broken heart know
Your thoughts
are consumed with
the loss of her
as mine are filled
with the loss of you
Battered emotions
now inert
as my eyes desperately
search yours
Am I still in there
somewhere
or are you hers
without a doubt
Sadness sits
upon my tongue
stifling my words
with hurt and doubt
Reality unveiled
a truth my soul
now struggles to
figure out
Your body is present
but your heart
is stuck
cradled silently in hers
Mask affixed
reality dismissed
while your song
rings where
your heart now belongs
Fragments of hope
caged securely inside
longing for a heart
no longer mine
