Never Close Enough

I could see him across the room
Just standing there
Ignoring all of the pretty faces
that happened to pass his way

I held my breath
and took a step
Toward my beloved
I was so close to what I wanted

It happened so fast
I didn't see it coming
Or should I say I didn't see her coming
I stopped, as I watched her with my beloved

I could see him smiling across the room
Just smiling at her
They ignored all around them
As if all around them were delusions

They left together
Side by side
My head bowed in sorrow as I watched
My sister with my beloved

    Oh! what a horrible blow when I read the ending. It would already vaccum air profusely by having you love taken by another girl but your sister....that's tough, I wouldn't be able to handle that. Nice write, I hope this isn't personal. Best of luck in the contest, thank you so much for entering hope all is well

    Such a sad ending to a beautifully written poem. It hurts a million times more when a member of the family, especially a sibling, is selfish and careless enough to steal another sibling's man. That has got to feel like a knife in the back a hundred times over. So sorry that it happened to you.

    Just remember, what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.

    Thanks for sharing & best of luck in my contest

    Truly respect those who can come out from under this considering the hurt and heartache you feel with this. Very expressive and tragic, I hope this didn't really happen to you...

    i knew the ending was going to be sad, but didn't expect the sister... a feeling of an empty pit in my stomach... thank you for your entry.
