you have nothing tho fear but fear itself


Tonight I have a front row seat
by the phone awaiting on you call,
I'm usually the one you always turn to but, lately I'm nothing at all.

I'm always the one to wipe your tears away
the one to make you smile
the one to make you feel all right,
though I haven't in awhile.

Your face I have not forgotten
though now its begun to slightly blur but,
maybe that's because you left me.
You left me for her.

The girl that's never there for you,
The girl that doesn't care,
The girl that tore your heart apart,
Yet I'm replaced.. Since when is that fair?

I'd rid you out my life for good but,
I promised I'd never leave.
I don't have the guts to anyway,
so I'll sit by the phone and grieve.

Awaiting on your phone call,
to hear your saddened voice
because when she leaves you'll return to me,
Inside I will rejoice.

Remember I'm here waiting;
I will never turn you away.
I'm always your SECOND choice baby.
HIP, HIP FREAKIN HOORAY


The author's comments:
This piece I believe can relate to so many people. So many people on a daily basis find them self being the second best or the second fiddle in a love they just wish they could have. A love where you weren't just the close friend or he back up for when the other relationship fails. And I've recently found myself in that situation and Its a hard topic to understand when your not realizing its happening to you or your struck by the denial or refusing to believe such a thing could happen to you... This is where you take your stand and become the first, the bes, the only lover.
