Pretending


Steel blue eyes,
Cold and unchanging,
Boring into mine,
Burning my mind.
My face grows warm,
And he looks away,
Trying not to notice,
How I looked back at him.
No one most know,
How we feel,
If anyone did,
Everything would fall apart.
So we must not even know,
Must not let it show,
Forget how we feel,
And ignore the pounding of our hearts.
I act as though I am a child,
Clinging onto him,
Pretending it is nothing more,
Then a schoolgirl crush.
If they ever knew,
How deep this relationship was,
I know,
They would keep us apart.
As long as it is pretend,
They think it's all right,
He shows no interest,
So what is the harm?
But if it ever became love,
They would have to tell us,
The horror,
We already know.
I put my arms around him,
And he pries me off,
But there is a secret smile,
We share.
He'll talk to me later,
Tell me how dangerous it is,
That perhaps he should go on another journey,
And I'll stop him with a kiss.
He'll cry like he did,
When we first found out,
That we were more than just lovers,
He looks into my eyes,
I look into his,
And those eyes hurt,
For they are my brothers'.


Author's Notes

Okay, what the bloody 'eck am I doing, you probably want to know! No, first of all, I'm not some type of twisted hentai. This is just supporting one of the many Slayers rumors. Okay... um.. second... I guess there isn't a second point I was going to make. So! I hope you enjoyed it!!! (If you're still clueless, it's Amelia writing about Zelgadis.)
