I see you in shadows he doesn’t perceive,
Your laughter a song he forgets to believe.
He holds your hand but not your fire,
While I stand silent, scorched with desire.

He speaks in echoes, dull and flat,
Blind to the brilliance of where you're at.
You bend for love, but not for him,
Your light outshines what’s grown so dim.

I’d give you more than passing time,
Not just the rhythm, but the rhyme.
Not just the safety, but the storm,
The truth that breaks and keeps you warm.

What if your heart, tired of ache,
Could finally choose what it longs to take?
Would you reach out past worn routine,
To a love that's sharp, and fierce, and clean?

So leave him, love, and walk through fire,
Burn down the cage, ignite desire.
Come where your name feels right in my mouth,
And let the stars find their way south.

She knows, oh, she knows,
That I gaze when the moment slows.

A glance, a touch, a silent prayer,
But she’s already claimed, unaware.

Her laughter rings, a melody sweet,
In the rhythm of her heartbeat,
Yet in the silence of my eyes,
I hold a secret I can’t disguise.

She moves with grace, her world complete,
While mine, it bends beneath her feet.

She wears love like a golden crown,
While I keep mine tucked down,
Beneath the layers of "what might have been,"
A wish that lingers, never seen.

She knows, but the heart is a quiet thief,
Stealing moments in unspoken grief.

For she is his, and I remain,
A shadow dancing in the rain.
