sloppy seconds

When we were young,

I admired you.

You were on my mind,

all the time,

couldn't live without you.


It seemed like you were into me,

but I was still confused.

As time went on,

I realized why,

Confused. No. More.


I would love to see you,

begging to be someone's first choice.

Of course it hurts but,

You wouldn't know.

You've never gone through it.


I'll show you how it feels,

Now you'll know.

What it's like being

your sloppy seconds.
