latter: the second of two people or things
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

in the shadows filled with sunrays
this golden brown eyes
holds an blood shot melancholy
even shining at its own pace
an enthralling ambience
of pure and sultry
it feels dimmer than silver blue star

giving almost all of its
magnetic wings
handing over the fragile heart
to the hands which scorch fire within
the desirous fibre
it feels like a second choice
compared to even field of gravity

life is unfair, everyone knows
didn't realise this betrayal will
leave a token of stab, dragging downwards to the end of suffocation
it always someone's latter option
to meet the thirst

why not worthy enough as utmost preference?
getting replaced by every breathing sound
less prior to the selfless love
a mean to take and get away with it

the words on the mirror wall bleeds
with tearful lump
at the base of dying throat full cough
left with a half hearted love
abandoned halfway
mourning between the lines of -

"you either choose me or loose me
i will never be someone's second"
