#replaced
I was the first pancake soft and wrong
poured too soon not held for long.
Three months in they tried again
a quieter hope a newer plan.
Not hate not loss, not something cruel,
just something shaped like I was fuel.
A first attempt a test a try
before they let the next one lie.
Then she arrived, my sister small,
and I am glad she’s here at all.
I wouldn’t trade her, wouldn’t undo
she’s real she’s loved she’s something true.
But truth still hurts in quiet ways,
it lingers on in older days.
Like batter left too long to set,
a shape I can’t stop feeling yet.
So I am glad she came to be,
but still it sits inside of me
the first one poured the first to break,
the first pancake that they didn’t take.

we used to count when we played badminton
50 being our highest
we don't count anymore
don't talk too much anymore either
the girl who told me to **** myself plays with you now
I see you counting, laughing, playing
I bet you got higher then 50 didn't you?
shes probably better then me anyways
isn't she?

I'm soaked.
Drenched.
Water logged.
There's wrinkly fingers
and prunely toes-
from a wishing well's
water spilling in my head.
The waterway
pulls me down.
The drain - body blocked,
as a river
meets my ocean.
I'm water logged.
Drenched.
Soaked.
Nothing but water.
Bones of Voss bottles,
blood from Icelandic glaciers,
spring sourced
liquid death.

Would my last breath
Bring you more relief
Than grief?
With the sod replaced
And me underneath,
Would you feel like your life
Was returned by it's thief?
Would your heart
Match your belief?
...please respond...

What's the matter with me lately?
I've a feeling I'm no good no more
Should I have a system check
Possibly get the upgrade three point four?
Problem is my hardware is outdated
Not sure what support I can expect
The new software won't install
We're incompatible I suspect.
Time comes and you begin to think
This has truly lost its fun
Now I must watch you from the corner here
How you carry on with a new honey bun.

We have been apart a week
My memory has been all but erased
Six years we lasted together
Am I so easily replaced?
It's like a punch to the stomach
Thought of your hands intertwined
Tried my best to be there for you
In return leave me behind
Part of me in denial
Can't believe this is real
A state of frozen shock
Attempting to grasp how you feel
I wish the choice was mutual
Willing emotions to change
If only I could place your heart in my chest
Give you mine in exchange
You make it look simple
For you moving on isn't hard
I am the only half affected
You clearly are not broken or scarred
How could I mean that little to you?
All that we've been through together
Promised we would start a family
You would stay forever
Now vows belong to a different girl
Robbed from my unsuspecting hands
As your misery decreases
My sorrow simultaneously expands
It hurts to breathe in
Hurts to think
And hurts to open my eyes
Not a second passes without the ache
Cannot tell sunset from sunrise
The days blur into one
Earth keeps spinning around
Whole world is shattering
No one hears the sound
I bear suffering alone
Barely speak your name
Because if I say the words out loud
Can't escape what we became
I try to distract from the emptiness
Hide in my room and get high
Remembering all the warm moments
Over and over asking why
Why was I not enough for you?
Why wouldn't you let me in?
Why does she get to have you for her own?
Questions make head spin
When I finally fall asleep
At peace for a little while
In dreams I'm in your arms again
Morning interrupts my smile
Waking is the very worst part
Faced with overwhelming void
Absence of your touch is crushing
Obstacle I cannot avoid
I hope eventually I will get stronger
Start mending wounds in soul
Until that day arrives I'll shuffle feet forward
In vain ignore the gaping hole

Maybe she's a better fit
Maybe you can handle it
Because maybe her dreams aren't quite as big
Maybe she's a better fit
Maybe you won't hold against
Me how easy it is to fall for friends
Maybe she's a better fit
Maybe this is for the best
And she'll teach you things that I couldn't
Maybe she's a better fit
Maybe I needed this
To see her in my place so I could love again
Maybe she's a better fit
Maybe you and I weren't it
But I'll always believe that we were worth the risk

It's dark in the room
With only little light coming from
The lamp at the corner of the room
Alone with my thoughts
Wishing I wasn't feeling unknown pain
Oh how I let my mind wonder
With words like...
Oh how I wish I didn't
Wear this mask as if everything is okay
When you the person I thought would never
Break my heart
I thought friendship was forever between us
But I was wrong
I was replaced
Who knew caring so much for someone was
Wrong
Who knew trying to keep the one you love safe
Could lead them to hating you
In the Night
I remember our late night calls
Of laughter on the most random things
People would admire how great friends we
Were
It's all apart of life
I grew up and found my love
But I still wanted my love and having you as my
Best friend
But things happen for the best
You found your love
And replaced me
When I tried managing you and my love
I couldn't help to not want to protect you
You were my sister
You were my shoulder to cry on
But I guess when you found someone
Our daily hang outs became none
Our daily chats about our lives became
About me trying to protect you
Or you saying things that I knew were not like you
Or arguing about our boyfriends
As I tried to defend mine
Since you didn't know much about mine
You were the keeper to my secrets
To my deepest thoughts
But turns out
You were just like everybody else
Wanting to advantage of my innocence
With my generosity
And be okay with being the "hidden plan"
When you were with somebody else
You said you understood what I was going through
When you have never experienced distance
From the one you love
I wanted to save you
Protect you
But I guess I couldn't
You broke me
I shall move on with my life
Deal with the things you spread around that are not true
Deal with the things I only shared with you
To be spread to the whole world
I hope you know
You made me stronger
You also made me trust no one
You may wish bad upon me
But I only wish good for you
This is no hate for you
But only love
I hope you have a bright future
I hope you pursue any dreams you may have
But I will no longer be here
I know you don't care
I have been replaced

and then life changed,
fast as the flick of a wrist
all that was, suddenly wasn’t
and i suddenly didn’t

Dealing with being replaced
It's a different beast
It's not that your less then
or that your not as good
It's simply means your value is to costly
So they found a cheaper one
It's just as painful and frustrating
No warning no heads up
So yes it's difficult
Your left with now what
Your left with nothing
Your trust issues resurface
Your belief in what you invested your time is ..
it's gone just like that
So here , I am now
trying to deal with this beast

Find a new wardrobe
Hide my old face
Take time out of my schedule
To find my new place
Maybe I’m still full of life
Full of hope and out of time
I’ll make me,
Take me,
Fake me better
And I’ll do it all for you

Sorry I replaced you
But it feels like revenge
Remember a few years ago
You ignored me time and time again?
Now you have a girlfriend
And you replaced me, too
Remember a few years ago
You said you liked me, too?
Our relationship went nowhere
No feelings were there
You weren't there for me
But I tried so hard for you
I wish that we can get along
Put it all behind us now
But your feelings of jealousy prevent it
And I hate it
Can we just be friends again?

I wish you knew that the thought of being replaced makes me shake
There are so many others who you'd be way more interested in
It's okay, you can go... I'll be here, working through the heartache.
please don't go, i need you. i'll do anything...

So I've been replaced.
It's just a fact, can't be erased.
Maybe if I close my eyes.
They could all go away.
She is pretty. She is nice.
She looks lovely. She is kind.
Now he likes her, when he used to like me.
It is over before it could begin.
I lost my friends. I've been replaced.
That's fine. I didn't need them anyway.
I can't get new ones.
The school year has been established already.
I have no where to sit cause she took my seat.
I've been replaced yet again.
She is a willing adversary
But I don't think I will fight her.
I said I wanted to be alone.
Now they left me. Now they're gone.
Cause they like Azure better.
He wants Azure. He used to want me.
They like Azure. They used to like me.
She took my place. I've been replaced.
It shouldn't bother me.
They were my friends, and now their hers.
I was his crush and he was mine.
Now he likes her. I still like him.
I've been replaced.

i stare at these pages
as if the words
are going to be enough
to bring you back,
as if the blood spilled
will be all you need
to see that i'm right here.
yet once again,
all i'm left with
is ink stained hands
and a fracture in my chest.

You said your life would be lonelier without me.
So tell me,
Are you lonely now?
Or have you replaced me with someone else

My emotions rule my mind
my brain lives between my legs
Blind devotion is my sight
if you'll stay with me in bed
My arms are winter's embrace
I always have them wrapped
The chills keep you in grace
while my fingers keep you rapt
My mouth, a serpent den
sparking silver charm galore
My tongue twists round itself
tied in efforts to adore
My worship signals ships of war
through seas of violent storms
A fairweather fleet, full and by
with you as the port of call
A simple harmonic motion
with the force to drown an ocean
One simple price to pay
to be the captain for a day
