pretty little kitten

all dolled up

going out i reckon

but i noticed i was not called

pretty little bird

all dressed in pink

looking good in that shirt

but i cannot recall you asking me for a meeting

pretty little dove

getting ready to go out

with them i presume

walking about; clutching arms

the day i lost you

i sat by myself on a bench in the park

i watched other people be happy in my place

it was therapeutic

i realized that no matter how much the grief had consumed me

the lives of the people around me would go on

they were happy

it's how life works

it goes on

even if i remained stagnant on a park bench

alone and without a friend

you told me that you're sorry

you told me you don't mean to hurt me

i love you and you tell me that you do too

our conversations stretch to the wee hours of the night

hours of rest i cannot get back

but all i see

is them on the latest posts on your instagram

i'm mad

you didn't choose me

i should've tried harder to be

i shouldn't be the one on my knees

i'm mad

you chose them

they were there for you; but i wasn't there not because i decided to

i'm mad

they bring you out a lot

they can meet you everyday while i'm stuck in training - to be better at my career

i'm sad

i should've tried harder

should've found ways for us to be together

i'm sad

they can be with you every second of the day


while im stuck here in a training course where i'm forced to stay

but i'm glad

that you were finally able to choose

even though it meant that i had to lose

at the end of the day you come to me to destress

you come to me to tell me how your day went

you come to me for comfort

you come to me for acceptance

you come to me with trust in your heart

but why didn't you come to me when it was time to choose

you tell me it didn't feel right to choose me

however every single time we talk to one another

it feels so right

i have so much love to offer

but you only come to me when their love didn't cover what you needed it to

you told me you loved me and i believed you

but it wasn't me when it came for the time to choose

i may not know them like you do

i may not be able to judge them like you do

maybe there is a reason they are with you

and maybe theres a reason for me to lose

do you know why a raven is like a writing desk?

just like the reason you chose them

i havent got the slightest clue
"them" is singular here

how much would i love it

without you by my side

i could go anywhere at any time

but without you there i would feel lost

wherever you are

thats where i will be happiest

even in the scorching deserts of Egypt

and the darkest vacuum of space

wherever you are

thats where i would be happiest

writing doesn't help

it makes me feel the pain better

and in turn

worse
