Body Double

.

Every time I reach out for him
All I find is you.
I retract in confusion
And you end up getting hurt.

Every time I shed tears for him
I fall apart in your arms.
You only get so close to me
Before I realize who you're not.

And every time I want to punish him
You're the one paying the price.
You stand by helplessly
as our trust bleeds through the nose.

Every time I try to get over him
You're the one I'm pushing away -
And your love and your support
That I've come to depend on so much.

Every time I reach out for him
All I find is you.
I'm lying in your arms
But it's him I'm thinking of.

  1. Didn't intend for it to be a humorous poem. Did I go wrong somewhere?

  2. :-)Its not humorous, and you are not wrong anywhere, its so true that no one can digest and you expressed it all in just few lines...
