Friends, Nothing Else Poem by Myrtle Glo Oliquino

Each day I walk with a heavy heart
Wishing I never have to play this part
A scene I chose to be submerged in
Knowing that in this I could never win.

I watch you live your life in glee
You're having the best of both worlds, I see
Confusing me whether to smile or ache
Making it look easy for me, for your sake.

I cry silently in vain as I hurt
Yet I endlessly fail to sweep you off my heart
Trodding each milestone like an infinity
I burn as I have to accept we'll never be.

But pain all flushes down the drain
Even with the slightest time from you I gain
And yet again in bitterness I try to embrace
That in your heart, I'd never find my own place.
