(The Parlour) A friend or a lover?

A Poem by John Holmes
"

Week eight pom :)

"
It has been so hard 
of late
Seeing you smile
Seeing you laugh 
and knowing 
it is because 
of a 
certain someone

My heart is screaming 
my vice is silent 
my soul 
is
cracking 

I want you to be
happy
and smiling 

I won;t lie
I hate the b*****d 
I want you to be mine 
but you're not property 
and I finally realise
it isn't what i do 
I am me
and if I earn your 
affection 
then it is to be

but if not
then the fire will 
still burn 
and 
I will be 
happy for you 
Because I love you 

You're my friend
and I love you 
not
I love you 
so you're my friend.
I hope you see the difference 
and I hope you keep smiling 
because to me
that is all that matters
