The Want Poem by Adeline A Roberts

I wanted to wait.
I wanted to wait for you.
I hoped for love to come in time.
Hoped that some day you'd be mine.
But then I walked into the office.
What I saw was so obvious.
Two pair of eyes that could not see me. Two pair of eyes looking at each other. One pair of eyes looking on.
I couldn't say a word.
But its like I wasn't even heard.
So I went on my business
And left them to their business.
When I left the room,
I felt a dark gloom.
My body so cold.
I needed a hold.
Did he love her, I wondered.
So I walked and I pondered.
Who am I to stand in their way.
But I really don't feel okay.
And up till now,
I feel like I vowed,
Never to fully love another
Maybe you could be like a brother?
