Side Burner

by Forever Hers   Nov 1, 2013


How did it feel knowing you had me
Wrapped around your manicured finger?
How did it feel with my leash
Wrapped around your delicate wrist?

You blew me kisses every day, eyes sparking my imagination,
When he wasn't there, you'd place your lips
On my own, soft yet demanding,
Reeling me in; beauty a killer.
The day you told me you loved me
Was the death of my trust.

I remember you telling me as your fingers twined with mine
How he wasn't what you wanted, that you wanted me
But you were still bound to him by invisible strings;
That was when we shared that first kiss.
Do you remember how you suggested we see each other
On the side, just until you got him to leave you,
Then we could be together;
Little did I know, I was always on the side burner.

When you left him, you found someone else
Though promised yourself to me,
Told me your heart was mine, that you loved only
Me; next thing I knew, you were engaged
To your new toy.
You still kissed my lips with a passion,
A passion I will never forget,
One painful and full of deceit
Though tasted like death dipped in the finest chocolate.

I was always second best,
Never enough to please;
You left a permanent mark on me,
Making me believe I am just going to be
On someone's side burner.
