Being Replaced

I walk down the long, lonely street.

I bow my head,

looking down at my feet.

I glance at the side to see you with her.

I look away, my eyes starting to blur.

The unshed tears made its way out.

Filling my head with thoughts of doubt

The feeling of pain urged its way to my chest

Making me feel like I’m a nobody,

Making me feel like I’m worthless.

I think of things like you wrapping your arms around her

The way you did with me.

We used to be happy,

We used to laugh whole-heartedly.

But you changed,

You started to push me away.

You ignored my presence.

You lied to my face.

You clouded my mind, thinking what I felt was real.

You made me believe what you wanted me to feel.

I was supposed to be in your arms right now.

You wore a mask every time we were together.

But my spot was replaced with another.
