I call this new poem of mine “Unwritten Futures.” It is a story that revolves around a very attractive woman who is torn between two men. While she has strong feelings for both, her heart truly belongs to one, and she dreams of a life with him. Meanwhile, the other man remains unaware of her secret romance 🙂

“Unwritten Futures”

She stands at the crossroads, torn in two, 
With hearts entwined, yet mine feels blue. 
He came first, she whispers, eyes cast low, 
In love’s embrace, there’s room to grow.

But I can’t help but wonder—
what is the cost?
In her heart’s garden,
am I just a ghost?

In her gaze, I’m shadowed,
lost in his light.
She weighs my heart against his might.
She says, “He knows me whole, accepts my flaws,” 
Her daggered words, a silent war.
Each word reflects pain,
.Comparisons drown me like falling rain.
 
She weaves her tales,
a web of lies, only to be torn apart.
hiding the truth behind her eyes.
She whispered,
“He was here before you,
the first chapter of my story.’”
In his arms, her heart ignites,
While I’m but echoes of a fading name.

He knows nothing of my presence, 
the secret we weave in the dark, a stranger to the truth.
While I hold her close, 
lost in the moments he can’t see. 
She said, “He will never know about us,”
as if our moments are shadows,
fading at dawn.
Yet in the depths of her heart,
she dreams of a future with him,
of growing old,
while I hold her now,
just a fleeting whisper in her story.

A web of trust, then swiftly tore. 
Her laughter dances in another’s light, 
In every glance, her heart takes flight, 
For him she loves more, beyond my reach.

Her days are filled with his embrace, 
While I wait in empty space. 
In stolen moments, their laughter rings, 
And silence wraps my heart in strings.
I stand,
lost in fading night.
