Number One

by Rachel   Nov 21, 2010


So the day came
the one that I've dreaded
and the way you looked at me
is so deeply embedded

You looked guilty
and somewhat sad
but everything inside me
made me so mad

Questions with no answers
how could you do it? and why?
you know I hate this feeling
we have to say goodbye

And the part that gets me
and what I hate the most
is the way you never cared
you were totally engrossed

All the while you'd tell me
that everything was fine
but you gave your heart away
when you'd told me it was mine

You won't admit it
but you loved her more
I've got this empty space
that you've chosen to ignore

And you still refuse to say it
that you never truly cared
but you've already broken me
so why are you so scared?

But I know that I'm to blame
I saw you slipping away
I know I let you go
I didn't know what to say

I know we had these plans
and that sometimes they conflicted
but I hope someday you see
all the pain that you inflicted

When all you had to do
was tell me you were done
instead of always looking
out for number one

    I like it. A little long but you have good potential, and I'm sorry it didn't work out.
