pain filled eyes
i cannot say one ugly word
as i look at the two
with my pain filled eyes/
like
staring at the sun/
unable to deny
loving the man
who brought me joy
unable to feel
hatred toward the woman
my sister/i
love
looking on
with my pain filled eyes
staring at the sun
the madness of it all
such joy unblemished by my regrets
as i wander along my jealous path
jealous of
joy
jealous of
love
jealous of
happiness shared
as i sit alone in my empty rooms
and consider what i am lacking
staring at the walls
of my shattered dreams
w/my pain filled eyes
staring at the sun
tears streaming down my face
as i go blind
wondering why i continue to write love poems
