Last Place

A year ago today was the day that I met you
The day my heart jumped out of my chest and ran around the track of love
And it never seemed to get tired, and always seemed to get faster
As if the thought of you was like a self  induced steroid
My heart had Nikes on because all kit just did what love you
And it wore an Adidas headband because all day it dreamed about you.
Or maybe it had Reeboks on because its love was what it was and nothing could stop it
And you. It seemed like you were like a Kenya track star because you ran through my mind nonstop
The thought of you leaving my life would make me fall face first on a hurdle
But the thought of you loving me back world make me wanna break a world record
My heart did every event from running to your every need to jumping to your rescue. It even long jumped to your side and tried to pole vault into your soul.
When I thought that you might have liked me my heart ran before the gun went off
Because the excitement of a girl like you liking a guy like me sent neurotransmitters to my feet making them run to find out if you were true
I soon figured out that I wasn't the only one in this race
And that my love wasn't enough to get second to last place
You treated my heart as if it was a bad joke you didn't want to hear
As if my loves voice brought pain to ears
I guess you were allergic to feeling like a princess because being treated like a queen made you nauseous
Or did real love make you itch or did it give you migraines
Cause you avoided it like a new hair dew avoids the rain
And My heart still has the footprints you left when you walked out my life
I just hope the grass on your love track dies
And the turf on your field gives the next runners turf toe
And I wish the hurdles would break so they couldn't jump for you
I just wish before I decided to run the race you told me to my face
That I had no chance to win your loves race
And its been a year and I still feel the destruction of being cheated and my love being used for its function
But i saw your love track and it looked fisgustin
I'm just glad it was closed and under construction.
