Second Option (4/26/12)


NO, I will not be the second option, Just like, from a failed pregnancy, to a forced adoption I rather be your first, not the latter... Settling with me doesnt flatter. YES, my feelings do matter NO, this heart you are not allowed to shatter This is not a test So why are there multiple choices? Stop listening to the discouraging voices... I should be first priority In your heart, I should take up a majority But I'm here as a minority Engrave me in your mind See my pain, dont pretend to be blind Eenie meenie mini mo, How much longer til I go? How much longer til you show? I just hope that you know My impatience steadily grows Am I, Am I next in line? Am I, Am I next to call you mine... Its a new day, do you have the time Loving you is a felony Im prepared to do the time I have committed that crime Im not an animal in a pet store Im not some tiles to go on your floor You cant pick n choose Its either ya win or ya lose With me, ya win, Put down the walls and let me in I despise that I love you I hate the fact that I stay thinking of you And while he plays with your strings Treat your words as nothing... I will let this deception sting... At the end, who is really winning?
