Afterthought
(Poem by Serenus)
Yes, there is an issue
That needs to be addressed
Lately I’ve been feeling
Like you’ve placed me as 2nd Best
Funny, I never knew
I was competing in a contest
Oh my beautiful prize, was it all lies?
-Time to confess
If you wanted to be” just friends”
You should’ve stated your un-desires
But you had an ulterior motive
-The backup plan of a liar
Keeping me in your back pocket
Playing me for a fool
Selling me sweet dreams
While you had your cake-and ate it too
Telling me what I wanted to hear
Lying to my face
If things didn't work-out
With choice #1
You kept me around..."Just in case"
Lost in my own mind
Is there something I missed?
I thought I was first in line
But you had me on a waiting list
Passion in every kiss
What a ***** little trick
It makes me wonder…
What kind of "special gifts"
Did your “first pick” -get?
Loving you was a battle
You don’t see how hard I fought?
Discarding me as your “Plan B”
A second hand -afterthought
