to D', because she's younger
second birth of three
second to you

later
second best, second hand,
off handed comments and remarks
mark my thoughts

again i fall behind
always a step behind

never forging my own path
merely replicating yours
such a shame that a life was wasted
duplicating the life of another
and still managed to fail at every step
guess that's what happens
when you come
