Of Love, Nothingness and Me

Nought more than a triviality was I,
in your highness's mundane life.
But a new toy to play with was I,
in your young princess's lonely life.
---
I could not bear upon myself to see,
the truth that I believe was my downfall,
the truth of what I didn't mean to thee,
the truth out in the open to one and all.

Yet today, my love you ask me to gaze,
upon what, I chose long before to not see,
which has been my pain in all those days,
when I was happily in bed with thee.

Gaze I have, and for very long too,
in the silent moments of the night,
Alas left with nothing more to do,
I gave up the will to fight.

I guess it is.

I'm sorry Jang, I have reason to believe I've asked you this before, do I know you? (implied genuine question - who art thou?)
Further, a suggestion, drop a hint of the same on your public profile or something!
