A small smile
Dances in your eyes
Eyes turned towards
Not me, but
Them.
You say you
Love me, cherish
Me, care for me
Above all others
But you reject
Me, abandon me,
Ignore me when
Faced by
Them.
I call out
For you
Beg you
For just a bit
Of attention and
Love towards me
Not
Them
You smile at
Me, assure
Me that all is
Okay
Then you turn
And walk
Away from me
To
Them
I cry and mourn
The death of a
Friend who didn’t
Die, a friend
Who didn’t trust,
A friend who
Didn’t leave
I wept for you
In your stead
And made
Your tears
My own, that
You don’t have
To cry
Anymore
But as soon
As
They
Beckon, you race
Back to them,
And you don’t
Ever
Look
Back
At the girl you
Left behind
The girl who loved
You
Then when
They
Leave just for
A little while
You come
Back to me
And promise
That everything will be
Alright
Because you took care
Of everything
Stop lying to me
I once looked into a
Mirror and saw
Myself in different
Colors
Now I look into
A mirror and I
Do not see
Anything
My shadow is
My companion now
My reflection is no longer
Mine,
But
Theirs.
