Let me be your little nothing,
whom you love with all your heart.
Let me be your glory's mirror;
may my pride receive no part.
Let me be your emptiness,
to give you room to live.
Let me offer up your majesty;
I have no more to give.
Let me be your tiny star,
obscured by clouds and night.
Only you shall see me there
and keep my flame alight.
