I think I am in love with purposeful uncertainty,
because in the dark, or with my eyes closed
I can always pretend you'd pick me.
It's a beautiful delusion one you've proven false
over and over again.
But if I never ask you
I will never have to here you say
out loud
that I am second best
at my very best,
and so I keep my eyes closed
and hold my breath
and swallow my questions
and my pride.
and I let you pick teams in the dark
so I never actually see you choosing everyone but me
and so you never have to see
ME
