Love Poem: Why

Why

Why do I feel guilty?
Why do I feel like I always do
something wrong?

Why do I feel
the need to hide
things from you?

Things that I want
to share with you, 
things that make me happy... 

I thought we are in a partnership,
I thought this meant we share everything, 
I thought this meant that mutual happiness is what we strive for...

it makes me sad, 
when I feel like an outsider, 
especially when I’m not trusted, 
especially when I’ve done
nothing to warrant your distrust...

You’re my niche; 
you’re my partner for life...

I don't want to feel like
I’m cheating on my best friend...

Right now?

That’s exactly
how you're making me feel...
