The Tears

I just stay sitting here
waiting for the tears
to stop running down my face
all of them in a race 
to see who which one will reach my heart first
to see how much it hurts
hoping to mend the break 
and pool together like a lake 
and comfort but its too late
to stop the pain only the he could create
by making me second best
to all of the rest
how can I compete
with what I can't defeat
what I can't be
that only he can see
I wish I could find the key 
to open doors so he could see 
who I am 
but only he can 
make himself be
happy with me
