Your Second Choice

A poem

You text me at midnight, because you’re bored,

And I feel like a half-smoked cigarette tossed on the floor.

I’m just the unnoticed picture hanging in your hall,

An optional lover for when your first love falls.

 

I’m just a distant star in your galaxy,

The backup plan you call when you’re high and free.

The girl that fills in your empty space,

A second choice that you always easily replace.

 

You showed me crumbles of affection, never the whole.

Because I’m just a rebound to ease your soul.

I’m just a whisper not the voice in your mind,

Just a boring thought that you’ll leave behind.
