Lovely Torment
It started with a glance,
A smile, a whisper.
Then a touch-
My heart was lost from there.
I watch as he moves,
Always so careful.
I believe him afraid-
Afraid of breaking me.
As he passes by,
I breathe in his scent.
An intoxicating aroma-
I want only to hold him.
But to love him,
A heart must be broken.
Her innocent affection all in him-
The thing that holds me back.
To hurt her is to kill myself,
But he is all I dream of.
I wish never to be free-
This lovely torment.
