is it placeholder or place holder
a placeholder is a dash that holds the content
my ex used me as a placeholder
my singing monsters placeholder
was i just a placeholder to fill the hole inside you

placeholder -
                in the bible
                in the field
                in the calendar
                in italiano

am i a placeholder for him
am i a placeholder for her
placeholder vs dream girl
placeholder vs stakeholder
placeholder in python {}

placeholder -
                business meeting
                engagement ring
                disney cruise

A placeholder ring
Temporary meaning
I vow in-between.

Hold my spot
Til better comes along

Who is going to tie the knot.

A lady in waiting,
Eternity does not come easily
Or swiftly.

One who seeks a definite answer
Needs patience indefinitely.

Does Mr. Right
Promise all the right things
Right now,
Enough to keep me hungry?

A short-term solution
When I dream of a
Permanent situation

A preview of what is real
All I see
Is intention to commit,

When does forever start
If not today?

Do you ever feel like you’re the one
Who always starts the conversation?
Like you’re the one people only hang out with because they are bored?
Do you ever find yourself wondering what part you play in your favorite person’s life?
Do you ever wonder if you’re just a placeholder??

I do...
                                                                   I do...
Time to put my happy mask back on

— The End —
