Torn

Another fight

third time this week

He's left alone

His outlook bleak

She used to love him

She used to care

Now she yells

that he's never there

But there's another 

stealing his heart

As damaged as he

he loved her from the start

Like sunshine after a sudden storm

her smile brightened his day

Like a breath of fresh air on a humid day

her innocence gave him hope

She gave and gave 

and asked for nothing in return

She was his other half 

his lover

his friend

But as strong a love 

he had for his lover

he still had love 

for his girl

He had seen him through dark times

and fought for him in turn

Torn between two women

If only he could see

How wrong his girl was for him

and how right his lover could be...
