^{Third Wheel

What gives them the right,
To take that drink, tonight?
What gives them the permission,
To sit in such a romantic position,
When all I’m doing is sitting, staring,
Opposite to them, crying but trying
To hold back those tears.
Trying to hold back the fears
That are enrolling out before me?

The cold wisps of Winter are brushing against me,
And the heart I ignored for so long is in anxiety.
My fists are clenched.
My pride is pinched.
And my eyes are sour -
They have been for the past four hours.

Your childish beauty entrances me,
Asking a favour that just killed me.
“Take a photo of us kissing, mate!
Oh please, please, it’ll be so great!”
And reluctant to react, I take your phone,
And with a silent tear escaping, I kneel by your throne.
Your lips touch, passionate, true;
The camera flash splits through sky;
Through me and you.

^{This is dedicated to a friend of mine.
One day we went out to town, me, my girlfriend and him..
And I did invite another girl, but she cancelled.
So he was basically the third wheel, and the thing is, I knew he liked my girlfriend.
But me and my girlfriend got drunk-ish, and he doesn't like drinking,
And during our drunkness, she asked him to take a photo of me and her kissing.
And I felt really bad, but I was too... 'influenced' to say no.

He's been bitter about it for a while.

So, this is dedicated to him.
Sorry.}
