second best

december.3.2000

To Be Second Best,
What I've always been,
He is just better,
Rejected again.

To Be Second Best,
Almost but not quite,
Leave without reasons,
Don't put up a fight.

To Be Second Best,
Makes no difference to me,
Third or last,
We still will not be.

To Be Second Best,
What I am to you,
Your backup supply,
Your leftovers too.

To Be Second Best,
Forgoten always,
Forever alone,
Not just a phase.

To Be Second Best,
It hurts but it's true,
Always one better,
Good enough for you.
