I see a pretty couple
as they walk through
the door,
Smiles shine upon
two faces
quite easy to see,
only each other
do they adore.
Hands softly
embrace one another
and sparkling eyes
like endless oceans
meet, as they softly
giggle.
Envy, perhaps
or a silent lamenting
kills my smile
before it's
conception.
I see the beauty
between them,
yet cannot feel,
and am not touched
by their mutual
affection.
Venom wells up,
from within,
and not tears
perhaps turned sour
by lonesome,
regretful years.
I wish to run,
and hide my shame
I would preach love,
yet now resent,
and I know
deep in my cancerous
heart,
I am nothing,
but just another
hypocrite.
Author notes
Normally, seeing two people in love would move me, but tonight, it served only to make me feel depressed. I had been doing ok up to this point.

This has a very good "beat", I can see it read aloud. I also like the shortness of the lines, and where you've broken them, makes for a great visual flow while reading, and keeps the reader's attention nicely.
solid beat poem. -

I love this, I have felt this many times. Seeing towo ppl in love and instead of being happy for them I wish I was in that place instead. I really like it.I think we have all had this time where we are hypocrits. I think poems from peersonal viewpoints are the best and the last few lines where you looked within yourself truely brought the emotion out. Great Work.

This is amazing... I know how you feel... I've felt the same way you have... which is kinda creepy if you ask me... but this... I love how you've written it. Bravo hun

somedays you want the same caring...
that touches a heart...
some days you want the same comfort
that finds a way to touch your soul
yet in all your searching
that special person
is just not there...
and you wonder why?
I did enjoy this!
Keep penning on one stroke at a time!
