Wrote this a while back...

He She Him


She looked into his loving eyes

To see a reflection of a glorious self

He idolized her; called her Queen

He simply loved her, despite her shortcomings

But did he realize, recognize?

Could he see but not identify?




She adored him.

He was all she had ever wanted

He supported her ventures

He was emotionally there and fully engaged

Communication wasn't lost on him

No hiding emotions or taking hers for granted.




With him, it was simply unheard of

He loved her and that was that.

But...




She knew from past experiences

One can never love enough for two

Guilt was no substitute for love either

He was worth more than that

The butterflies in her stomach had turned

To moths feasting on her already tattered soul




She laid her head on his chest

Listening to his heartbeats spell her name

A tear escaped as her spirit flew to answer

The rhythmic melody tugging at her soul

She was supposed to answer and

Her heart should be singing the harmony




His heart song was never accompanied

She called for him and that was that.

But...




When she dreamed of her future,

He stood there embracing her dreams

They would live happily ever after

A storybook romance of how hearts could mend

From shattered brokeness and pain

Came the most miraculous mosaic pieces




She looked into her lover's eyes

He stared at her like she was the only woman alive

Her tearful sorrow told him she knew he was one of many

The worst part about it all was the deception

He tried to love her from soul to heart

However, her heart had filled its quota




He only had eyes for her

She only had passion for him

But...




He and him were not the same.
