She made him feel stuff.

Sadness and things.

And he thinks the first girl he finds

Is the best thing in the world,

But it’s only because I’m a little bit better.

 

I’m only the best thing in the world

Because I didn’t rip him into pieces.

I’m only better because I didn’t hurt him

Like she did.

He thinks I’m so great

But it’s only because I’m the next best thing.

 

One day,

He’s going to wake up

And realize

I’m not the best thing in the world

Like he thought I was.

I love this poem, it's heartbreaking but somehow still beautiful.
