Torn
By Ani

---

Your heart aches
And you hold back the tears
That you've wanted
To shed long ago
But no...
You kept yourself strong
You wanted to believe
That he would never hurt you
No this much
Yet deep inside
You know its not his fault
But yours
For not confessing your love
The young love that now
You know will never
Be shared
With the one it was
Developed for

You look in his eyes
And a new twinkle
Is shining bright
It tears your heart apart
To see that
His happiness
Comes from another
That there is no longer
A void, an empty space
For your love to fill
But you smile
And bask in his joy
His happiness
And his blessings
Your heart has been broken
By this fulfillment
But you'll survive
As long as he is happy and close.

Always...
