Lady of Silver
There is no denying it, she was first
I imagine her next to you, your arm wrapped around her
As it had once been wrapped around me
Sometimes I wish I were a less kind soul
So I could despise her as I pleased
But, alas, I stop myself
And even as the thought of her with you tears me to pieces
I admit to myself that she has the higher ground
There is no denying it, she and I are too similar
And many may call it irony
But this is reality, not a Victorian manuscript
And she and you and I are real people in the real world
We are more than mere words on a page
Happy endings are not a guarantee
They are a gamble, a hazard, a war
For happiness for one means sorrow for another
There is no denying it, she was first and I was second
But second place does not win gold
