I SAW

I saw it coming.
The way they looked at each other.
Or more to the point,
the way she looked at him,
the way she never looked at me.
I saw them together,
long before they were.

I saw her kiss him.
My brave mask fell to the floor
and shattered.
I picked up the pieces
and wore a fragmented smile
all through the night.
I saw my heart broken
and my soul gutted.

I saw the faces of my closest friends.
I heard them whisper about how sad I was inside.
I thought I hid it well.
I knew I was mistaken.

I saw them leave
together, hand in hand.
No kiss,
no hug,
no wave.
No regard for me at all.

I saw the beginning.
I saw the end.

You'll never love me now.
Not even when I was there,
Today, another face in the crowd.
