Thanks for trying but you ghosted me,
Left alone with a dinner and a drink,
And to say I trashed the food
And downed all the alcohol,
When after that text
You said I was nothing to you at all.

Second best you said,
Second best I'll be,
Second to him,
But first at being lonely.

Never good enough to love someone else,
Yet good enough to be placed like a trophy on the shelf.
Collecting dust is a pattern I know,
Watching from afar as other lovers go,
And wanting more till bitterness sets in,
Second best, I'm a lover never to win.

Second best they said,
Maybe I'm just a fling,
A frantic romantic
Who never gets the ring.
I just want to kiss,
Make a man feel blessed,
So that every other kiss he has
Will forever be second best.

To be someone's first and only
Is a dream when I awake,
And I find my bed an empty lonely state,
So don't wait for me
If I'm not your guy!
Don't lead my heart to be electrified!

If breaking me is your goal,
Know I've been shattered and mended with gold,
And I'm stronger now
But I must still confess,
I hope to love someone
To prove I'm more than....second best.
