in your inner mind’s eye
set up so high
within view
just for you
on this pedestal

in my inner mind’s heart
feeling set apart
watching you be you
not with me
but with others

in your mind’s voice
do you listen
let your emotions
pay attention
just for a moment

in my inner mind’s ear
I’m wishing to hear
you say
the words
you love me

in my mind’s wishful place
I pray for a space
in your life, by your side
out in the open

instead I reside
upon this pedestal
you’ve created
for the one you consider
your chosen
