Amongst the crowd
She never noticed me
Not one glance
But she was all I could see
It seemed unreal
Not quite right
That she was there
She’s your wife
My dreams crushed
My heart torn
I slip away
Irrelevant and small
Amongst the crowd
She never noticed me
Not one glance
But she was all I could see

I guess that'll be guilt then Katy! Nicely observed.

On his shoulder
Vulture sitting still
Repeating diplomatic fashion
Seeing her again?
Dramatic ,I could feel the tension and drama in so few lines.I like the way you have ended it with a repeat of the openning verse-most effective. Well done !!

Not necessarily guilt, Anthony. It could be a feeling of sorrow, jealousy, failure or a mixture of all three. I think the 'irrelevant and small' sums it up nicely.
If I'd had to give it a title, it would have been 'Less than..'. You convey that message well.
