through enviuos eyes,
i see you,
being touched the way i want,
being held the way i want ,
so inside i learn to hate,
every smile that crosses your face.

your beautiful hands,
so soft like silk,
looking at my own,
worn from time,
by all the pain,
we will never share in common.

your eyes still affixed,
with that soft glow,
that burning tears,
have forced from my own,
everytime my heart was broken.

i see the love you have,
and it touches my soul,
because perhaps,
its something surreal,
that i have never known.

i watch the security he provides for you,
and i cant even feel safe within myself,
and i long for that one moment,
when i can finally feel,
everything you take for granted.

"and i long for that one moment,
