I'm a ghost hidden by this double sided mirror,
A forgotten tryst behind the glossy frame.
You only ever saw a reflection of her,
When it's me who was screaming your name.
I scratched at this prison of self loathing,
Desperately tried to grab just a single glance.
A single whisper brought me into pitiful hoping,
That I just might have had a chance.
That your eyes might look for me,
That I might not just be a faded memory.
That maybe you'd break this glass and finally see,
That I was always there waiting.
I spent day and night wondering if there was a way,
If there was a will to win the heart of my desire.
My spoils were tear formed trophies and pain filled days,
The fuel for a self destructive fire.
Now I realize I'm only a distant idea,
A fictitious plot that didn't fancy you.
I'll sit here bleeding with my fantasy filled dreams,
And watch the happiness grow between you two.
I once could call myself your friend,
A tryst that was filled with laughter and smiles.
All you really wanted was her in the end,
And I was just a thought to play with all the while. |
