by JB Nuique
I'm a black figure beside you.
You may see me, but not so.
In the absence of light, I may hide.
But trust me, I'm always by your side.
You can't count my tears, but I don't care—
As long as my love for you is like an air
That once existed will never gonna cease,
Attached to you for all time with no fees.
But who am I that will please you?
There is nothing in me that will interest you.
Yet I have something for you to ponder too.
I may not worth anything, but I'll be right here for you.
