Endearing

I was part of her beginning

one of the first sets of eyes on the most intimate of her thoughts

but I always knew I was doomed to be a nobody

no matter what she said or how she tried to reassure me

her words towards me always felt empty compared to the ones I saw her bleed

I was right, of course.

I watch from the shadows as she shines bright in the spotlight and I’m at peace because all is as it should be
