Someone Else’s Someone ©Dawn Minott

On By Dawn MinottIn Poetry

In the quiet of night when shadows dance alone

I trace the lines of your absence 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

Lost in the margins of someone else’s story

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.
