It’s the little things that pull it apart

His fair lady

And damn that it shouldn’t hurt

Curse foul heart and mind that continue this charade

While he languishes in splendor and the love that he’s found

I close the door firmly behind and stare into the empty space

Not me

Not you

Nor me

Nor you

And the mind and the heart do as they will without the thought of how they torture me

His fair lady

How fair she must be

Ever the one to watch and never the one to play

Playing the part in a strange game with no winners

Only the watcher

And how it hurts

His fair lady

That I couldn’t provide him with it myself

That he didn’t want me to

That he never sees the pain pouring out

His fair lady

May they seek ever after

While I rot in the dark
