"I Came From Another World"
I came from another world,
just to give you what you asked for—
not gold, not miracles—
just love, nothing more.
But fate laughed,
and I became his brother,
the one you hated,
not the one you wanted as your lover.
He held someone else,
but you still loved him from afar.
And I—
I stood beside you like your shadow star.
I wooed you with smiles,
proved my love with hands that never shook.
But all you gave me
was a heart I never got to book.
You crushed mine
without even trying,
like stepping over flowers
that were busy dying.
When you finally saw me—
not the brother, not the backup—
I was gone,
my name now carved in stone and dust.
I watched you cry
in front of my grave,
your tears the apology
I always forgave.
But I was the fool, wasn't I?
The one who followed like a ghost,
smiling through your sharpest words,
loving when it hurt the most.
Now I'm the one regretting—
not for dying,
but for not being able
to hold you while you were finally trying.
