Being #2

With down cast eyes,you try to speak

Your heart is breaking,your voice is weak



You have something to say,You have to be heard

You stammer and stutter,trying to find the words



You start to tell me,whats on your mind

You start with "I sorry","I dont mean to be unkind"



"You see I love another,and I also love you"

I say

"How can this be,how can you love two



"I dont know how it happened,dont know how its done"

I say

"Am I number two or am I number one?



"Your number two,in my life and my heart"

"You always have been,right from the start"



My body went numb,my heart hit the floor

I had a empty feeling,like never before



T he past,present and future,was lost in my eyes

All I could see were the tears that I cried



In just one minute,I saw it all end

From being in love,to just being friends



And friends you lose ,day to day

You drift apart,and go different ways



Some day you'll find,you acted in haste

You will long for my touch,and your body will ache



But I may not be there,waiting for you

And you will have to find you,another number two.

So sad, but very nicely done, Buren.
It flows well, a good read.

This is really really sad. It made me cry. You can put your pain in words, and make everyone else feel it. That is a true and rare gift!
