Always... And never me
I should of known
By the change in his tone
How he lights up when she comes round
Lifting him up when he's down
I realized I was only a distraction
You used me to your satisfaction
Stupid me though I played along with the game
Thinking I would finally be treated the same
If not better than her, but that was just a lie
Bullshit wrapped in pretty wrapping to justify
My idiocy to think we could ever be
Because when has it ever been me?
No I've always been the side chick,
The-get-the-shitty-end-of-the-stick,
Let's-always-be-friends-type-of-shit
And I smile stupidly and go with it
Cuz I'm really just too fucking nice
Sugary sweet and no spice
I'm really getting tired of getting second place
Pass me that title and I'm slapping your face
Don't give me your bullshit speech
You sucked me dry just like a leech
I have nothing more to give
Yes I'll be fine without you, I'll live
One day you will realize
What was in front of your eyes
You were blind and couldn't see
My love was real and it was always me

I know how you feel. This reminds me of a poem I wrote a few months ago called "Runner-Up". The picture reminds me of how I hate seeing people kiss. Happy people in love, but it's never me. I turn away, turn off the tv, close my eyes in the movie theater. Even fake kisses feel like knives in my heart. You expressed it very well here!

Yes I'm glad someone can relate to this. The feeling of being in love with a another person who is in love with someone else is truly painful and unbearable. I have felt like this so many times so I figured why not share it. I hope one day we find ourselves in first for once and not last ❤️ Thank you for commenting JJ 😊
Oh boy . . . Love and the wandering eye.
Some people are just not capable of honest
love, always looking around for something,
someone new, forgetting for the moment they
have what they are looking for in the palm of
their hands. Sad. Very, very sad.

Yeah. Makes me think of the whole have your cake and eat it too. People can be really self centered and selfish. Thank you for the comment

This is what I'd describe as a hard hitting, deserved kick in the nuts kind of poem - passion and anger in the right places laced with righteous judgement - excellent stuff my friend :-)
a wee heads up - the line 'No I'm I've always been the side chick' - am I reading this wrong or is there a typo ?

Ahhh yes thank you for catching that David! I didn't realize I left that in there. It's fixed now (: and yes I was definitely fueled when I wrote this. I'm glad I was able to express that and for everyone to feel that as well. Thank you David!
