Life in the shade was good

Your fame left me aglow

Finding you loved another

Dealt my ego a heavy blow

 

I thought love was exclusive

Deceit turned me to a saddo

No more your sole princess

Shade darkening to shadow

 

Now shade enfolds my rival

She enjoys your reputation

Seeking not the limelight

Knowing what is her station

 

Maybe I wanted too much

Expectations overly sure

Blind to what other love

Your eminence might lure

 

You've told me all about her

Polyamory is your choice

Can I accept a shadow-life,

No love, no sun, no voice?

 

I thought love was exclusive

Deceit turned me to a saddo

No more your sole princess

Shade darkening to shadow
