Side Character

I’m just a side character in my own story

The heart of someone I know beats for someone else

I’m watching it all unfold from the sidelines

I knew the risk I was taking, I keep telling my heart—

But the weight of my tears feels too heavy to carry

So I let them rain again for you tonight

You have beautifully haunted my life

I thought I was finally going to make you mine

This poem is literally about how i have always felt and continue to feel the same way despite the fact that muses in other poems are different but this thing is the same. I'm always going to be the side character in my own story, more like that Lana's song "The Other Woman" because i feel like i have the "other woman" in every situation of mine.
