Do You Wish It Was Me?

She's beautiful--
that's the only word that fits
this princess you gave your
heart to. She's bubbly
like a ready glass of
champagne. Eyes that
let you feel the ocean
and the sky.

I wonder if she knows that it
is I that holds your soul...

You're handsome in a
young Clint Eastwood kind of
way. Wild and unattainable
until you met me. How did I
stop the stallion in you?
Turn you into a respectable part of
society...just for you to leave.

I don't know why I'm here today...
but I can never turn down an invite

I'm sitting still in the very back row
like a perfectly sculpted piece of art,
I can see how your hands
shake as you reach for her
veil. Pull back slow--
searching for something more
in her eyes. Your lips touch hers
and I can feel how frigid
you've grown as the night
comes to an end. You hold her
hand and a trace of uncertainty
breaks through you. Your eyes
fall to her hands then to my face.

Do you wish it was me that held you
together?
