Here I languish
In my shadowy corner,
So familiar now
That its loneliness
Is almost comforting.
Observing longingly
As you offer so freely
Yet another of your charming grins
To someone else
Who can never adore it
As much as I do.
You, denizen of the world above
And me, creature of darkness;
Our eyes occasionally reaching across chasms
For moments, then
Flitting along divergent paths.
Someday, I dream
When the fever of young love
Has evaporated from my heart,
We will share a lengthy glance
And I shall lament the fact
That your courage arrived
Too late.
For now,
I am forced to admire
Your ample charm
From a distance, while you
Fraternize with the circle
I don't dare attempt to join.
Go ahead--
Ignore my sentiment
While you revel in your sunlight
And find new and creative ways
To let me down.
