Someone Else’s Someone ©Dawn Minott

On By Dawn MinottIn Poetry

In the quiet of night when memories flood my mind

I retrace the lines your absence left with longing fingertips

Your laughter—it echoes in the chambers of my heart

A bittersweet melody haunting my every thought

Alas, I am but a bystander in the theater of your love

The forgotten verse in the ballad of your life

Watching from the sidelines

Replaced in the story of someone else you’re loving

And though I long to be held

To whisper and hear secrets in the night

I am resigned to the truth that you now belong to another

Someone else’s someone

    This is another awesome prose that you composed that is reminiscent of a love that someone  once knew and it’s longlasting effects on our emotions and soul. Simple beautifully written once again Dee.
