Fool-hearted girl, eyes of lucent pearl,
Betrothed to my best friend,
To find you I scoured this decadent world,
And yet now I am forced to pretend,
That when you draw near, my heart is still,
And I can show no rage,though I know he lies,
If he hasn't betrayed you yet, he will,
For he could never know the beauty in those eyes.
My love is hidden like some shameful scar,
Now, I have learnt not all cages have bars.

Last night, I yearned to see you again,
As you traversed the garland forest alone,
For long,I have been your protector from pain,
And your vigil as you wander home.
Through the sylvan maze, I quietly crept,
Though the path you took, I did not know,
Yet you shone through the osiers and rivulets,
As if you emanated a supernal glow.
Beneath the moon, stood by that silver stream,
You appeared like a seraph in a prophet's dream.

I am lost in the labyrinth of your charms,
Yet tormented by their forbidden delight,
For I can never hold you in my arms,
Or stare into those eyes, that shine at night.
To betray my friend, however wrong his heart,
And then to twist the arrow,through your own deceit,
Would be too cruel an act,so we must live apart,
And you can never know the secret that I keep.
I will withold the truth, in every silent sigh,
For this must be my fate,until I die.

A very passionate web you've spun and to remain seperate from your love is so honorable. It is quite a secret triangle that you must uphold inside. Hopefully neither of your two friends read Passions? Bob <><

Such a difficult situation is hard to describe beautifully, but you have succeeded. I hope that you find peace someday. Thanks for posting.

I know too well what it feels like to be in your position and I hope and pray that you are able to keep your heart and soul's secret intact. Very well written; you perfectly captured both the beauty of your love for the girl and the torment that you are going through.
