Accessory

Since their early childhoods

They saw each other grow up

Into the persons they are today

And ever since she knew him

She besotted him

Clandestinely

For nor he ever did

Neither shall he ever know

Philandered with other damsels he

And sought succour in her 
If one ever disparaged him

Never could he have conjectured

That she who stood by him

Got her heart slivered

Each time he admired someone else.

And ever since she knew him

She besotted him

Clandestinely

For nor he ever did

Neither shall he ever know

Their good and bad

Well versed to both

Their battles

Familiar to both

But he always adored someone else

And ever since she knew him

She besotted him

Clandestinely

For nor he ever did

Neither shall he ever know

Someday

She too shall learn

To be smitten by someone else

And love him more than anything

But that lad

Who she grew up with

Shall monopolize a personal space

Eternally in her essence

And ever since she knew him

She besotted him

Clandestinely

For nor he ever did

Neither shall he ever know
