King & Pawn

You talked about fate,
about being meant to be.
Then I saw you with another girl
whose hair was a prettier pink.
And I saw you sit next to her
And hold her hand and smile.
I didn’t let it bug me but then
I thought about how it’s been a while.
It’s been a while,
and you always cared,
But only at night
when the other girls weren’t there.
And they had low
self esteem;
you know who else does?
(Me)
I felt guilty whenever I chased you,
But my weakness was you, aloof
Because I thought maybe if I could make you feel something,
It would be my way to prove.
Prove that I am worthy of love,
from a beautiful boy so hard to get.
But I realized your esteem is just as low,
And the easy girls praise you and help you to
forget.
