I can't help but stare
As tears well up in your beautiful blue eyes
So innocent and pure
Now filled with pain
A side of you I've never seen
Your smile
So bright and contagious
Is no where to be found
As you stutter around words
Shaking your head
When it hurts to much to speak
You reach out to comfort me
But recoil
As if the touch of me burns
My tears mean nothing
Yours are the ones that need to be dried
I only wish you wouldn't turn away
Whenever I get close
Brushing me aside
I know you're not fine
Please stop pretending that this is okay
The facade of a man was broken today
Just as simply as I broke your heart
Whispering you love me
Everything you are layed out on the table
Willing me to take it
And I feel my heart drop
As I say those words to you
I'm not sorry I'm saying them
I'm sorry that the way I mean them is killing you
Author notes
So.. I broke my best friends heart..and I feel like shit for it..because he never deserved it.. I just don't love him the way he loves me..and I know I don't deserve him at all. I love him more then anything..just.. not like that.

i know how you feel, and reading this poem really brought back those feelings. Well done, and like everyone else has said if you want to talk, I'll listen.

wow i know how this feels and ive been on your side of it too, not too long ago actually i feel your pain and wish there was something that could make you both feel better
im here if you ever need to talk ; ) -
that is so sad but i absolutly love the poem that came from your pain. The part of the tears and the smile being no where to be found is something a lot of people, including me, can realte to. It is a magnificent poem and i'm sorry something like that had to happen.

As a man who's been on the other side of this a few times before meeting my princess I'd like to say that it is good that it hurts you some too but I'm sure it hurts him more. I wish I had the words to make it not hurt for each of you but they just do not exist. This is never a goos thing but you sure wrote well about it. I can feel that this really does hurt you and I'm sorry that you are in pain over it. As always your prose is amazimg and your use of the word is delightful. I never tire of your poetry.

My newest poem is right down your ally way.

This is really strong, and it is obvious that you feel terriable for breaking his heart. Just try not to let this get in the way of your friendshipI know that will be a hard thing to do but you have a beautiful friendship by the sounds of it one that deserves to be cherished. I've gone through this before but I was the one left broken hearted when I told the guy I loved the truth and he didn't love me the same way. But the good news is we are still friends and if we can do it you guys can too. I wish you the best of luck with everything. If you ever need to talk I'm here. By the way I didn't talk about the poem as much as the underlying problem. This poem is simply beautiful and expels the hurt and pain your feeling but how he is hurting more.
An example of this is "My tears mean nothing
Yours are the ones that need to be dried"
That part screams out to me the most!
