Hopelessly

Will I always live in your shadow?
You burn too bright to notice me.
Am I doomed to stay here forever?
Watching you, wondering what could be?

Lurking around here in the darkness,
Stealing glimpses before your light blinds me.
Is this as close as I can get to you?
Destined to wonder what could be?

Chained to these dark shadows,
My only hope is that you'll see me.
Or are you just as blinded as I am?
Cursed to never know what could be?
