How can I compare?

I do not rebuke your behavior,

I shall not criticize.

You no longer need me

I am not the apple of your eye.

You brag about your prowess

with the girl I do not know.

Talk about her daily

while I just nod and do not say

about how I cry at night.

I promised never to love you.

We made that deal.

But I fell long ago,

for your rough sort of charm.

But how can I compare?

You can touch her,

Kiss her,

Devour her.

I am naught but words. 

How can I compare?

I know nothing of love 

or loving. 

I told you to keep that girl

and make her happy.

I will stay quiet

and smile for you.

I'll laugh for you.

But you don't hear me cry at night.
