Quiet Corner

I know jealousy's not my right
But I can't seem to change that.
I put in so much and get so little back,
A smile. Not enough on its own, but it carries promise,
And promise carries me.
It drags me.
Keeps me chained to a current.
Dragging me further from where I begin,
Out to somewhere much bigger than myself.
You don't seem to notice that I'm right here,
In front of you. For you.
I could blame timing, luck, or even courage.
I can brave most things, a self made prison perhaps.
But I can't brave opening my mouth
To exchange these words for a chance.
You're too important to me.
I'd rather be there as a friend, then somewhere else as your past.
So I force myself into a quiet corner that only I'll know,
And be there when you need a shoulder and protector.
But just that forever.
Your loves come and go, but I'm always here, in that corner.
It's my blessing, and it's my curse.

I shouldn't have to fight a battle I'll never win, just to lose those I've never had.

It just about killed me.
Don't forget to take care of your own heart too. :(
