Never Broken


We were young, when I first saw him. He was like nothing I had seen before. He was beautiful, I was in love. His hair hid his face His shaded brown eyes hid his pain. His long sleeves hid his escape and his smile though breathtaking hid the truth. I felt for him, want to reach OUT and hug him. To be there for him unlike any other. Though I knew I could not, for the love I knew I loved. Didn't know me at all. As time went on I watched him, wanted him. The boy that hid behind hair, smiles, and lies, if only I had been brave enough to tell when I could speak. Even now I still watch my love, still feel for him. As I float through the walls. Wishing I had spoken of my love, while being Alive. I get so tired, staying here watching him live his life. The one meant for him and I. Forced to see him finally happy with her, not me. I was the one, that loved him for so long. The one that saw him when he was invisible to the world. Now he is seen by many. While I am the One living in The shadows. He, the thing that brought joy in my life. Is the thing that brings agony within my death. For a love unspoken, is never broken.
