Raw
 

I've been thinking 'bout my feelings
the sensation's left me reeling.
I don't know what to do or say,
but I think about her every day.
I'm a victim of my own condition,
conflicting loves and loyalties are merely my symptoms.
The little devil on my shoulder says
"It's your time, tell her tonight!"
But his counterpart reminds me.
"You have no right."

"She's got a boyfriend
whom you love like a brother.
You've simply no right
to put yourself between her and her significant other."

Loyalties battling, conscience winning.
Guess that means I lose again.


*sigh* sometimes life just sucks.

Dude....that sucks (the situation, not the poem).

This was lyrical.....you should make a song, and sing it to them both.

Sounds like a situation I've found myself in before. You put it into words better than I ever could. Well written bro.

*sigh* i've been there, man.. i denied my feelings for years, and only expressed them when it was far too late.

but i don't think of it like "i lost" anything. i think i did the right thing by excersizing self-control and maintaining the respect i held for those involved.

if i would have acted on impulse or taken the risk of expressing my desires, which i came so close to doing on almost a daily basis, i could have ruined one of the strongest, most meaningful friendships i've ever built. that would suck.

good poem though, man, keep writing. :]
