Over and beyond you
I never had a chance,
I wasn't worth your time.
You had your life in a picture frame and
there was no room for me,
I tried to squeeze in
but it didn't work out because I was pushed out.
I have extended my arms out countless times
for you to save me
but just fell on my face waiting for you to hold me.
I ruined your picture perfect layout,
and have burdened you
with another life you don't need.
I don't need you, I wanted you
but life didn't have you in mind for me
and now when everyone has rejected you,
you come to me
and expect me to accept you
with a open heart and open arms.
I wanted that once upon a time
but this isn't a fairy tale this is real life.
So how does it feel to be on the other side?
