Second best
Friends tell me to open my eyes
See what they see
Remove the disguise
Look deep inside what's in front of me
Could you be love?
Is this to be?
On flying wings I rush to you
Singing songs, harmonies new
Inside flutters, trembling desire
Longing for internal fire
Awaiting arms to hold me close
To not faulter
To flee the ghosts
Past walls built come tumbling down
With your every word
In love I drown
Months go by happy are we
Talking ever after
Just him and me
Until she--
Enter old flames that never died
Words unfaultered
Though I hear the cry
My ever after felt a crack
When he said " she'll be back"
I'm only second best.
