Torn between

I’m torn between the two of you,
Seem to have lost my mind.
I’ve hurt your heart by rejecting you
And by saying “yes” to you - the other.
Which seems to be of no avail:
I can’t help loving both you and the other.

I had to make the toughest choice
Said “no” to you to benefit you - the other.
Can’t ever tell why I acted this way,
Just had to choose between you and the other.
Which seems to be of no avail:
I can’t help loving both you and the other.

About this poem:

This is life and sometimes we have to make tough choices at the expense of breaking each other's hearts, which can’t be helped. Couldn’t go to sleep last night and watched a nice movie - hence the inspiration.

Hi, marikia,
torn between the two of you is certainly a better place to be than all alone or the one not chosen. This poem leaves me hoping that the tearing is gentle on everyone.

Thanks, my dears, for heartfelt responses. No, my dear gnj, this tearing can not be gentle on anyone, but rather tearful in the end. But life is to blame, I suppose, or may be we should learn lessons and be less hard on each other. I don't know, at least the movie was one of the best I have ever seen.
