i stand amongst the competition
i compare them to myself
i brushed my hair, wore my best dress
anything to get up off this shelf
some of them are prettier
far better than I
and i know that still ill get nowhere
no matter how hard i try
i remember when i first met you
and i loved you even then
we joked and laughed and talked together
you swore you were my friend
but slowly we came apart
i loved you so much more
you became good friends with 'her'
i lost count of the score
now when i see you together
i swear each time my heart breaks
you taunt me with your cruel jokes
one remark is all it takes
i smooth out the creases in my dress
ive done the best i can
maybe today ill get lucky
and youll accept me as i am
you come towards the crowd
each acceptance brings a cheer
you pick out the people worthy of your friendship
im the only one left standing there
and as the group they move away
i know i want to ask
youre in a hurry to forget
what made me second class?
you dont understand how much i love you
i didnt pass the standards you have set for friends
and i dont understand why you so dislike me
Our story ends.

Some of the most hurtful feelings can come from our real or perceived interpretation of where we fit in our lover's scale. Still more hurtful is when a lover lacks the compassion to seek to understand.
Good piece Eloise. |
