Elysium

Every time I look at you,

              I see myself-broken and scarred.

Because you never stare at me,

             the way you see the world in her eyes

You see me in black and white,

            while she’s the kaleidoscope

She was your favourite scenery and I’m

           the hidden wonder waiting to get uncovered

She’s clearly your everything and I’m the

           space you always take for granted.

Every time I look at you,

           I see myself- broken and scarred

Because you love her and she never did

           and I love you, but you never did.

So you looked away and leave but

           I followed you and stay.

Every time I look at you,

           I see myself- broken and scarred

Because, I lost myself,

           trying to be her

And no matter how hard I try,

           I will always be the loser in this fight.
