Ah, don't mind me
I be but only here
Trying to catch the light
Simply because I'm near
The love he brings forth
How his eyes adore her!
She responds just how he likes
I, too, am rooting for her!
The rays are beaming
Shining streams of amber and gold
They fill the space he creates
And for this moment, I want it to hold ...her
Some of that light
It shines upon my face
It has filled me with privilege
It has left me with grace
Simply for being
In the same place
I cause no harm
even in my disgrace
Should I be found
in my corner, of this space
I expected nothing
I never have
Just the scraps, if any, left over
like the phantom
in the dark, listening
to the songs they sing to each other
The moment has come and gone
Everyone has left the room
The curtains have closed
I must come out soon
I look down at my hands
still warm from the view,
and I smile for the remnants that reached me,
even if he never knew.
