I’m supposed to be with him Then the questions come, and I know the answers that he seeks, I was the one that talked him back from the ledge so long ago when he was hanging on by the brink Of his insanity when he thought he had no reason to go on, I was the one that brought him back and showed him he wasn’t alone So, he asks but one single question as he looks at us two, and you get to respond first because he was first in love with you He asks an honest question as he looks into your eyes, he says “Why do you love me? Tell me why” Your response is simple, but it seems to do the trick, because when you are finished, he can barely speak He then turns to me and he asks me the same, and in that moment, I know I am going to be forever changed I open my mouth to give him my reply and as I do a tear starts to fall from my eye, I tell him “I love you because my heart doesn’t know how not to, is this the response that you wanted? I’m sorry but it’s the truth” “I have loved you since I laid eyes on you since the first time, I heard your voice speak, without you in my life I am incomplete” You stand there speechless and I can’t read you anymore, was my response enough to win? I can’t be sure So, I wait for the ballot to be read for my fate to be sealed, and as I stand there beside of you, I think to myself this can’t be real If I lose him again what will become of me? I can’t not be enough again, he must choose me So, I stand there and then my name is called, is this it, am I about to win it all? I step to the center of the stage and listen as you speak, you tell me that I played a good game but now it’s time for me to leave I stand there speechless as I start to cry, and I walk away to congratulate her as I pass by I tell her congratulations on your win, and I watch as you hand her the scepter and crown and think to myself, you’ll never truly have him So, I slowly walk away as the curtain begins to fall and the noises subside, and all that I can hear is my own heart breaking and the sobs from the tears that I have cried I stand there as you kiss my cheek and graze my hand, and I look into your eyes pleading with you to understand That I wanted to be your first, the one you hold in your eyes, but I guess to you I’m nothing and never will be anything but the runner up prize. This poem is from my book titled Broken Music, Silent Heart available on Amazon and Kindle. My pen name is Amanda Carroll Kinzer
