I read your poem
But tears blurred my sight
As I remembered two figures
One misty summer night
I watched you dance
As the music began to play
And cried deep inside
As my chance slipped away
The beat of his heart
Filled me with so much pain
And the sight of you two
Nearly drove me insane
His eyes so full of laughter
His voice so full of hope
Tore at me with sharp claws
And left me here to mope
My soul lay shattered
Glass shards on the floor
And my fingers were bleeding
From piecing together once more
I wiped my eyes dry
And what did I see?
I saw you happy with him
And knew I could never be
So as I scroll down the page
And remember that night
I let go of the feelings
I've tried hard to fight
It's hard and it's painful
And it's all very strange
But he's got you and not me –
Something I cannot change.
