The Tangled Trio
Three hearts beneath the same blue sky,
Three different dreams they can't deny.
One sends a picture,
hoping she'll see, One sends a message,
wishing to be free.
And somewhere beneath the words they write,
Someone's hiding love out of sight.
Jacob takes a picture in the glow of his phone,
Sends it to Cindey when he's sitting alone.
Every little photo is a silent confession,
A pixelated way of asking for attention.
He waits for the message,
waits for the reply,
Wondering if she'll see what's behind his eyes.
But while Jacob's hoping she might feel the same,
Cindey's heart is already calling another name.
Cindey opens TikTok beneath the midnight blue,
Her fingers find the messages she always sends to Lyric too.
Every little conversation, every word they exchange,
Makes something in her heart quietly change.
Jacob's photos keep appearing,
But she sees someone else instead.
While one heart reaches toward her,
Another fills her head.
And she doesn't know the secret that's waiting just beyond— The person
Lyric thinks about isn't who Cindey thinks they want.
Jacob loves Cindey,
Cindey loves Lyric,
Lyric loves Jacob—
but nobody can say it.
Three hearts,
three directions, one secret underneath,
everyone is chasing someone who is looking somewhere else to be.
Jacob sends another picture.
Cindey sends another message.
Lyric keeps another secret.
And the circle starts again.
Lyric sees Cindey's messages lighting up the phone,
but somewhere in the silence,
there's another name alone.
Jacob.
A secret kept beneath the surface,
a feeling never shown,
because how could Lyric tell him
when his heart belongs to someone?
So Lyric says nothing,
lets the secret stay concealed,
while Jacob keeps on hoping and Cindey keeps her feelings real.
Three people in one story,
yet none of them can see—
The love they're searching for is tangled in the same three.
Jacob looks at Cindey.
Cindey looks at Lyric.
Lyric looks at Jacob.
And for one moment…
Nobody speaks.
Three hearts.
Three secrets.
One impossible circle.
Jacob loves Cindey,
Cindey loves Lyric,
Lyric loves Jacob—
and that's the tragic lyric.
Three hearts, three directions,
three stories intertwined, one person's sending photos,
one's messaging online. But beneath the TikToks,
beneath every photograph,
there's a secret no one's noticed— They're all caught in the aftermath.
A picture sent.
A message received. A secret kept.
A heart deceived.
And somewhere between the photos and the screen…
Three people fell in love—
without loving the one who loved them back.
