Presence Known Poem by Alejandro Torres

Feel the pain of knowing you
Tightening its’ hold on my heart
And I know everything
They said was true
You could never
Be mine
I could never win
Your heart
But instead of regretting
I just feel empty
For everything I miss
Your laughter and smile
Your love
Your life
But if it helps you recover
Im sorry
For entering the picture
For letting my presence
Becomes something known
Fought for you in the shadows
It’s where I should have stayed
Made life easier on each other
I’m sorry
I told you things
I can no longer take back
If it helps
I’m just sorry
You know
Of me
