Loving Your Best Friend

He locks me up, pushes me aside
Whenever he sees your face.
I bitterly swallow all my pride
Suppressed by your beauty and grace.
You are never talking directly to me,
Rather through an empty shell.
This feeling that you bring to me
Is far too much to tell.
And when the wind flutters your hair
He inhales for me to dream
Of taking your hand to love you there
Then he tightens up the seam.
 
Everything we’ve done
We have really done apart.
He locks me up for he knows you’ve won
The fire burning in my heart.
Then when you talk he turns away
As I tune up my ears.
And as I hear the words you say
I realise all my fears.
I cannot tell these things to you
And break free from my cell.
For if he made me turn for you
I would spend my life in hell.
 
And when you leave and I am free
I breathe your last perfume.
I hate the things he does to me
I hope to end it soon.
Your smile is like a field of snow
It chills my nerves and makes me freeze
And that is when he starts to know
And sets me back with callous ease.
How can I beat my projected mind?
How can I bring this to an end?
For he is me and most unkind,
And you are my best friend.
