Coming In Second

He lays beside me crying
I understand or at least I'm trying
He loves me, of this I'm absolutely certain
But a past love hides behind an unseen curtain

He'll never take her back
I know this to be absolute fact
He's with me now
But that doesn't deserve any bows

Is this where he really wants to be
Or am I a simple solution that he sees
Can he give me what he gave to her
I wish I could be a bit more sure

She's not laying in our bed
But sacred ground I have tread
I never hear her make a sound
But her memory seems to be all around

I just want the chance to make him mine
Make him forget her and all their time
My aim is probably way out of sight
And it most certainly will be quite a fight

Compared to her I don't want to fall short
But this I'll do before I'll abort
What did she do to capture him so
This is something I'd like to know

Whatever all those things were
I'll do my best to make them blur
I want to more than fill her shoes
So it would be me he'd surely choose

You are listening to Dark Side by Eddie and The Cruisers.
I have such an eclectic taste in music that it is hard for me
to pick just the right song but this one seems appropriate.
I really like the movie and the music but this site
is about my slip into the dark side!

All poetry presented here is original works of art written by me.
Please do not recreate any of them without expressed permission from me.
My inspiration was my pain and as such is quite personal.
It is my soul that is bared through these words.
