Second choice

It hurts that I knew you first,

yet I was your second choice

Had known for a while you needed space

just didn’t know it was to be between us

You talked of moving on

moving away to move on

Should have read between the lines

Should have seen the lies beneath your truths

should have seen the writing on the wall

when the walls went up

but you didn’t bother climbing over it

I tumbled over it

needing you to need me too

You wanted out

when I needed you close

Look at me now,

a shadow of my former self

your absence hurt me for far too long

But your time is up

with this last page

we write off our last chapter
