Second Choice
‪Do you know what it’s like to be the second choice?‬
‪Like you’re aware you’re not good enough to be loved but good enough for some attention?‬
‪And he knows that you know too-
he knows you’ll stay even tho you’re the second choice.
He knows I’ll stay.
I’ll let his judgment of me justify my worth.
And I don’t know why I do that.
I’m looking for answers myself.‬

I know I’m not lovable
I know I’m nothing special
I’m too gentle
That’s why I’m not loveable
So I’ll settle
For being the second choice
Plan B
Whatevеr you want me to be
My parents tеll my Im useless
So please let me keep her side of the bed warm
Until dawn and I’ll leave before you wake - just as if I was never there
Don’t leave me
Please
I need you more than you need me
I wish I could be what you wanted
But since I’m not, I’ll be your backup plan
Give me some attention
Even if it hurts
Even if it’s disgust
I hope I haven’t faded into the back of your mind.
Where you throw everything away
I’ll stay, it’s okay, just so you can use me again,
It’s okay the pain keeps company
Please don’t lose me
I wish I could be loved like how I love
I’ll be your second choice
Because I don’t want our story to end
Even tho our names have washed away in the sand,
I’ll Your backup plan
Because these cold hands I feel
Aren’t yours
