Never The Twain Shall Meet (Despair for the Silent Witness)
<p>I’ll admit, I once relished countless “what-ifs” starring just us two—</p><p><em>Pink + White</em> playing on repeat—y’know, the whole package.</p><p>Catching them boys take slice after slice of her attention once prompted me to move,</p><p>But now, I just sit back at the sight of it all and twiddle my thumbs.</p><p>Because I never want to compete for her affection, much less the ghost of a friend.</p><p><br/></p><p>Ahh… there it is. A hint of negative thought,</p><p>Spreading like rot on old fruit.</p><p>Call it repugnant if you must,</p><p>But I find it… wretched to seek a banquet in a room where every guest has already taken their fill.</p><p>Yours truly is no wretch after all, is he?</p><p><br/></p><p>We play our parts well—she the innocent, I the friend.</p><p>But at our table, the aforementioned ghost sits between us.</p><p>An interloper laden with the baggage of a sordid past.</p><p>I begrudge the very space he takes.</p><p>One of the few instances where curiosity flaunts its double-edged blade.</p><p>Sometimes, I wish I didn’t know so much…</p><p>NO!</p><p>I truly wish that there was nothing to be known in the first place. </p><p><br/></p><p>I’m disillusioned now, but why do I feel this way, still?</p><p>And what do I do about the resonant <em>Pink + White</em></p><p>From a scratched vinyl I struggle inadequately to discard?</p><p>Why does this heartbreak have to be the order of my day?</p><p>Gawd … what I’d give to stop feeling so lovelorn.</p><p>Hate to say it, but she’s been my drug for far too long.</p><p><br/></p><p>You see, my fondest reader…</p><p><br/></p><p>A meeting of these two souls is a tragedy in waiting, </p><p>Born of a history she doesn’t realize yours truly has uncovered.</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>P.S.</strong> I almost regret that she ever met you, dear friend.</p><p>For though it was short-lived, you had the grace to call her yours—and I will always be envious of that.</p><p>I don't envy how it ended, but I suppose all stories, even the best ones, must eventually… end.</p><p><br/></p>
