Poems

The moment something better comes along, you're gone
Once they leave, you come back, asking me where it went wrong
Why must I be by your side
When I'm not ever your first choice
Just someone you keep hanging for the ride
Someone who is just a decoy

From the start, you kept me hanging by the thread
Pushed aside when you feel like it
Brought back because you want to feel better about yourself
Kept paralysed, because you needed a self-care kit

I hate myself, because I can't get myself to leave you
Even through the bad times, you keep me a part of your crew
I'll always be your second choice, no matter what I do
The runner up, the alternative, someone to fix your blues

Like everything else, we go on 
Me, fooling myself with this ridiculous con
While you wouldn't care even
If I was gone.
