Supplant

there you were.

 

i ignored you,

 

but his arms around you

 

were so distracting.

 

i didnt hate you,

 

i just envied you.

 

you had what i wanted,

 

even after all

 

this time.

 

his arm around you,

 

his head tilted down to yours,

 

his whisper in your ear,

 

tearing me each time.

 

you had my moment,

 

you had my dream.

 

you had what could have been

 

my everything.

 

i hear the voices,

 

my friends warning me,

 

reminding me of the pain,

 

bringing back his words,

 

so i wont forget that

 

hes a ****

 

yet still i yearn,

 

still it hurt to watch you,

 

dancing there,

 

with him.

 

you swayed back and forth,

 

wearing my smile,

 

and all i could think was

 

you had my moment,

 

you had my dream.

 

you had what could have been

 

my everything.
