A Seat For Me

There would always be a seat for me 
Where there isn't a friend or an enemy 
Better to be hated than to be ignored? 
When nobody heard a singled word 
There would always be a bench 
Where is a tree with only one branch 
Enough places for a lot of people 
But with me, no one wants to mingle 
There would always be a chair 
Solitaire in the class, into no pair 
The teacher looked at others, he doesn't care 
I can't tell if everybody is everywhere 
There would always be a throne and a stool 
To give me the crown of a fool 
I thought it would be my new home 
But I forgot that I wasn't asked to come 
The place is always comfier on the other seat 
I can't lift my sadness because of my exhausted feet 
My limbs are tired to rest on a delusion 
I need to be the best to find a mansion 
But, how can I enter somewhere with a locked heart? 
Why he's not my missing part, not another restart 
Unrequited love is like a porcelain bed 
You felt sheltered until pain hit your head 
Kissing the dust, hugging the floor 
I can't sit and wait for love anymore 
His shadow is the only thing he left me to cherish 
Something which never existed can't perish 
There would always be a seat for me 
Where loneliness is an epitome

This is heart breaking, Loic, and somehow very beautiful. I feel as if I've been there, but much of it was my own faulty perception and refusal to reach out.

Thank you^^ I guess that you too believed that someone else loved you? We can't blame ourselves, I think that sometime dreaming is just too much glistening. Btw, can I ask you which flower is your profile pic?
