They Were One

I looked at a picture today,

And saw something I've dreaded to see.

There he was, gorgeous as ever,

But beside him,

Oh beside him,

There she stood.

She, his wife,

The love of his life.

A piece of me died.

I felt my heart

Being ripped out of my chest.

She's beautiful,

I don't stand a chance!

I stared at the picture in disbelief,

Tears flowing down my face.

Slowly the colours began to swirl together,

Flowing into one.

They were one.

One.

The way I wished WE could be.

But how could I EVER

Compare to such beauty?

I can't...

And now here I sit,

A fool,

With my crimson tears

Staining my cheeks.

It's a very good way of expressing suffering in love� but it seems a little egoistic from your side. I mean, if it was love you felt, than you should not of been sad, knowing that he is happy , even in the arms of another woman� who loves him as well.

Never underestimate the power of love
Let your heart now rise above
And in the morning you will see
There's nothing that you cannot be...
