In Plain Sight

Be careful
   So very careful
You've know rogues
   and pirates before
You've even known
One
   Who wagered with
   The Devil

It was a bet
   I thought
   I might one day win
Now I've lost
Beaten by you
By Love
By the Devil himself
By the very nature
   Of the heart in my breast
   The blood in my veins
Beaten by who I am
   and
   What  I could not be

I've lost the right
To be your champion
The right to you
   and all
   That you are
You know me now
For a false hero

Tonight
You live in another's
                     Heart
You lie in another's
                     Arms

The photograph
   You admire
The strength
   and
      Kindness
      You cherish

Belong to another

You find yourself
While I lose me
You love
While I mourn
   What I lost
      (What I could not find)

What was hidden
In plain sight

Your love was hidden in plain sight
