couldn't get the one you wanted
so you settle for second best
instead of reaching to better yourself
you search among the rest
he carved his whole heart out
she placed hers on a platter
"yeah, you'll do." you shrug
"i don't mind, sure, no matter."
they wanted to be your safety net
but you wanted a trampoline
to spring from the one you let go
while they fall into the ravine
