I just wanted you to be happy
For you to find love
Wanted to be a support
An escape, a surprise, a laugh
Sibling teased, thought me on a bawdy hunt
But I teased him back
A fine joke I smirked
He would never crack my lark
I got my wish I was all those things
Sooner than I had dreamed
And those things too
I wished for you, came to be
The pictures, mundane, that he assumed
Their substitution, gold
You gave to me and bade me
Spin this to straw, my clown
So I jigged my jig, japed my japes
And you clapped and laughed
Showered me with joy
Then went back to your dreams
Then my turn came and I looked to you
You danced the required steps
Spake the minimum text
Again then, back to your dreams
So I sat alone patting my back
Congratulating my victory, now dark
Your dreams turned to the light
As the tears ran down my heart
