For Him

He thaws the numbness of my soul,
With just one glance my way.
He's chewed my heart and spit it out,
But I'll keep that thought at bay.

For little does he know, I fear
How much he can do.
With all that power he holds inside,
There's just not room for two.

Even though he's beautiful,
It doesn't change a thing.
He's always there, I feel he cares,
But it's so damaging.

My heart, it breaks in two or more
When he gets a glimpse of her
How can this blindness belong to him?
Why am I so unsure?

My thoughts, they run undoubtably,
Through my mind, it seems.
How can you say you know my pain
If you don't know what it means?

We share our interests, and some looks
That no one else can see,
But what they mean, beside esteem,
Could be most anything.

I hope one day to decipher him,
But I know that day won't come.
You see, our worlds are far away
So, for now, I'll pretend I'm numb.
