He fills my mind with gasoline,
I guess I should have known.
His gentle embrace,
Around her thin figured waist.
Yeah, I guess I should have expected it.
He kills my hopes once again,
I know but refuse to accept.
His tongue has found its calling,
Atop her warm and graceful lips.
Yeah, I guess I saw that coming.
His smile is for her admiration,
And his mistakes for her forgiveness.
His heart has found its completion,
Her laugh has found its creator.
Yeah, you think I would have noticed.
Words of his happiness typed for me to see,
Jokes of how cute she is,
And how I will never be.
Yeah, I guess I should have known...
He could never love someone like me.

Oh how love is cruel to mortal beings... If ever there was anything painful to humanity, it is LOVE. The most terrible nightmate imaginable is to fall in love with another person who loves someone else. Or to have your lover turn away from you, and into the arms of HER. How painful that is. I felt your pain, and applaud your effort to share your emotion with all of us. This is an exceptionally stark poem, in all its bold awareness of the "other woman" he holds in his arms. Take care, and I wish you all the best.
