These Tears I Cry... Poem by MaddiiAnne O'Leary

Whenever you look at me, I look away;
I look away so you don't see the tears that are in my eyes...
I look away in shame that I still have feelings for you...

Whenever I look over at you, you are with her;
You are with one of the people I consider to be my sister...
I look away in not understanding why...

Whenever I see you both together, I look away;
I look away trying to tell myself to get over it...
I look away in shame that I walked away from you...
