Afterthought

To you I'm just an afterthought
Endearing name that you forgot
A half remembered romance plot
A once frequented sacred spot

To you I'm just an alibi
Some one to cover up the lie,
for when you're with your ride or die
The hush of do not question why

To you I'm just a sideline thing
Someone to keep there in the wing
Who'll nurse the wound, remove the sting 
To treat you like a hero king

To you I'm just a pastime game
You play when bored and feeling lame
A mundane chore to keep you tame
To cool your passion's burning flame

To me you're not even a thought
My mind is here; my heart is not
Your love has been erased, forgot
To me you are a dead end plot. 

This truth to you is yet unknown
You're blind to signs that I have shown
One day you'll wake up all alone
Regretful thoughts all that you own
