My Heart Is Bound To Another

A love poem about adultery.

 

My Heart Is Bound To Another

 

My head is swirling

Round and round.

 

I'm deeply in love with another,

But my heart is

 Bound to a heart

That is bound

 To another.

 

Our personalities

Go hand in hand,

There's a strong 

Mental connection

And attraction there.

 

We want to

Meet and greet,

Yet it's so

Hard for me to

Leave my

Seat to move.

 

My heart and my values

Keep me from rising

But I'm restless

 And excited at the

Possibilities.

 

I'm in love,

My heart is

Bound to a heart

That is bound

 To another.

 

I don't want to hurt

Anyone in that triangle.

My mind is swirling

Round and round.

 

I'm afraid to move,

My heart is bound

To this rigid seat.

Love triangles: those of us who have never been a part of one are lucky. I like how you used the repetition. "My head is swirling/Round and round" is my favorite part. It really captures how it feels to know that the one you've fallen for is in love with another, the hopelessness and devastation once you realize the truth.

A poem about being trapped in a love triangle. The thoughts and experiences that always exist for the "other" woman in a love triangle.

the classic tale of forbidden fruit....we think it may be sweet treat - like we are missing out....but then reality sets in and you wonder....why does the other wander...

interesting and insightful write from the 3rd person
