I know these feelings are real

I can tell by

The way he looked into my eyes

The way she smiled at me 

Him promising to shower me with kisses and all his love

Her leaving me with thoughts of lifetime joy

But the devil

Oh god the devil

There’s two of them

Constantly fighting and demanding that choose

Tearing me apart

They hate me

Force me to pick a side

I could never have both

I know

Do I really love him?

Or am I afraid of what everyone else will think?

Is she really the one I want?

Or am I just entranced by her beauty?

I don’t know if these feelings are real
