Can you live
Being second best?
Are you even
In that list?
I don't mind.
I'l be your second.
I'd never mind.
But Halfassedness
and barely formed words
tiny little bits
you throw my way
that isn't ok
it's not ok to forget
it's not ok to Treat me like Second.

No one will know
I would never tell
The secrets you all whisper
In my little ear.
No betrayal
only confidence.
Even when you treat me like second

Slide in to the background
Hide inside the lines
A tiny IV
Keeping everything calm
quiet, hush, sleep.
Everyone disappears,
when someone else comes on
I love you
As always, Second.
