Standing in the corner

a poem about being the girl on the side, and watching the man you love be with someone else

I was

Standing in the corner 

Right by the entrance 

Smoking a cigarette

Trying to forget 

Your plans to meet me last Tuesday

Why didn't you call me?

Why didn't you show?

Our last night together 

Was heated and passionate 

I remembered how good you said you felt

And she couldn't make you love her 

Not the way I made you feel...

I smiled 

And took out my phone to call you 

But remembered I couldn't 

So she wouldn't find out we spoke

Until you let her go 

You said you'd let her go...

Just by the entrance 

I recognized your car 

There you were 

With her 

And you and I 

Looked at each others eyes

You walked on by 

And I smoked another cigarette...

Best to move on, I think. There are plenty of fish in the sea, as they say.

It is always hard to watch the person you loved once go with someone else. Very well written. Keep it up.
