Two women sharing the love of one man.

The summer night was heady with the scent of honeysuckle, a night made for love,
The black velvet skies were bedecked with stars, shimmering from above.
My best friend Beth and I were at a country club dance,
Two girls fancy free and looking for romance,
We were as different as night was from day,
Beth was sparkling and vivacious, I was serious and brooding, with little to say.
Then a handsome man introduced himself and wanted to spend some time,
He captured my heart with just one glance, I wanted him for mine.
But the peacock overshadowed the plain brow wren,
This always happened when I was with my friend.
That night the die was cast, Beth had found her mate,
I became the couple's best friend and watching their happiness was my fate.
I stood at Beth's side as she married my only chance for happiness,
I smiled sweetly as my heart wallowed in wretchedness.
I became Godmother to each child and as I held each little dream,
" This should have been my life and happiness", my heart would scream!
Why did Beth always shine, while I was encased in rust,
Her man's casual touch would make me burn with lust.
Years came and went, like a restless tide,
I remained loyal to Beth, the trusted friend at her side.
Then one night his soul just slipped away, joining the wind so free,
Two women mourned his passing, Beth and me.
Sometimes my mind journeys back to that starry night,
But this time he chose me and I was the one shining bright.
