Second Best

Posted on 1st Dec 2020 by rohit kumar

I have a heart and it's quite broken.

I read your words as if they were spoken.

You'll always love her for the rest of your life,

But she didn't want you; she was another man's wife.

 

She used you and left you a shell of a man.

I picked you up and gave you all that I can.

I give you my all, and it's never enough.

Reading the memoirs you write for her is extremely tough.

 

A few words of wisdom to my younger self,

It's better to be left up on the shelf.

Don't put up with less than you deserve.

You should always be a priority, never a reserve.
