Fake

Not long ago my heart ached for you,
And all I wanted was your voice,
Tickling my ears. Not hers.
I wanted you to look at me,
But you turned your eyes back,
You looked over to her instead.
You said those three words too easy,
The lie was so graceful and well-practiced,
Even now, I almost still believe it.
I wish I could let my heart believe it.
But I'm smarter than that,
It's why you're not here.
I don't want to feel pain when I don't have to,
I don't want to force myself through this
Only to discover there is nothing but a wall
At the end of my road with you.
I'm worth more than the second best,
I deserve the number one spot in a heart,
But I don't want to be in yours anymore.
I discovered something not too long ago,
The day it all ended in flames.
I discovered that I'd never met anyone,
As fake as you, and that was the best day,
Because I realized then that the one true thing you said,
Was, 'I don't deserve you'.
