Losing Battle
.
Secret looks
Hidden longings
Embraces stolen in dark corners
Eyes afraid to meet
Smiles left unshown
Kisses never exchanged
Seeing each other up close
Being forced to look away
Trying to keep the peace
Not wanting to cause pain
Pretending they are strangers
So as not to hurt anyone
Avoiding being alone
Shedding tears they can't explain
Talking to all but one another
Wanting desperately to hold each
other
Both involved with someone else
Feeling trapped by vows unspoken
Niether planned on this
Feelings they cannot stop
Two desperate souls in love
Wishing to prevent the pain
They know someone will get hurt
No matter how hard they fight it
Moving closer together
Still fighting the bonds of attraction
Both of them knowing eventually
They'll give in to the emotions
that rule them
Clasping hands with bowed heads
Admitting that it's already too
late
Tears will fall, hearts will break
Bu this feeling is no mistake
Softly their lips now meet
While the world crashes down around
them
Back
