When they talk It’s an inside joke “You wouldn’t understand” They say while they giggle together When you ask to hang out There’s an excuse “Sorry I’m busy” They say while you watch them together When they talk about a group chat But you aren’t on it “We must have forgotten” They say while they keep texting each other When they bring up memories But you weren’t a part of them “You must have been sick” They say while they plan to hang out again without you When they forget your birthday But they’ve planned presents for each other’s “I’ll bring your present tomorrow” They say while they haven’t thought once about it You are forgotten You are left out You are always the second choice- death by a thousand dismissals

Second Choice
When they talk It’s an inside joke “You wouldn’t understand” They say while they giggle together When you ask to hang out There’s an excuse “Sorry I’m busy” They say while you watch them together When they talk about a group chat But you aren’t on it “We must have forgotten” They say while they keep texting each other When they bring up memories But you weren’t a part of them “You must have been sick” They say while they plan to hang out again without you When they forget your birthday But they’ve planned presents for each other’s “I’ll bring your present tomorrow” They say while they haven’t thought once about it You are forgotten You are left out You are always the second choice- death by a thousand dismissals
