I wanted you ~
to shine as brightly
as me…. no second place
for either of us
and yet ~
you thought differently
had your own
pie in the sky reality
where only you shined
along the horizon…..
…… and me
my reality
you could have cared less…….
so be it…..
I will walk past and beyond
your splendor ~
but will never
feel
I could have not walked
hand in hand
together with you
I wanted you ~
to shine as brightly
as me…
