Unrequited

You’re the only star in the sky

I don’t see anyone but you

As you walk by

I feel sick, as if I have the flu

What follows you around is good fortune 

You’re perfectly sculpted, like a statue

But you love someone else, to my misfortune 

Comparing me to her

Is like putting a prince next to a sea urchin

I wish I was as pretty as she were

Trying to be her is

Sort of a blur

She looks like she would be successful in show biz

While I look less appealing than a clown

Choosing between us is easier than any quiz

Her hair is blonde; mine is plain brown

She has skirts, I have jeans

I wear a cap, and she wears a crown

Anyone could see she has better genes

You love her way more, 

Who looks like she belongs with the queens 

She’s with you on the dance floor, 

So I let her have you

There’s no point in war

You’re both so happy, I bid you adieu

As you stare into her eyes, so deep and so blue
