Second Choice
Tired of making you my priority
When I'm only a second choice.
I'm a shadow
casted by the musky rainforest
You see me when the rain falls
You see me when you skin your knee.
I'm far away
Always one eye hidden
by a luscious
dark green leaf.
When I cry
it's behind a plant.
When you cry,
you thrust your tears in my face
Drenching me with your sadness
and expect me to care.
It doesn't matter if I cry, right?
I'm only a second choice after all.
A completely replaceable choice.
What would you do
If when the rain falls
and you search and search for me
What would you do
If I wasn't there?
You looked behind the tree
In the shadows
and I just
wasn't there.
Would you be sad?
Would you care?
You'd cry on the exterior
Rest your teary pink cheeks
On your current choice
But your heart wouldn't break.
Because after all,
I’m just a second choice.
