Will anyone ever love me?
Please someone, someday, make me first priority
I don't have to be first all the time (once in a while would be nice)
But I am so sick of being always last
After work (it's a big secret, you know)
After infatuated little girls (she's SO fragile-we're just good
friends)
After anyone or anything when the whim strikes
I feel like a mistress, waiting by the phone, leaving all spare time free
on the off chance he'll feel like spending time with me
(and it's a big secret-after all...we work together)
I am an afterthought
never thought after
give me the strength to walk away from this man I love so much
who never learned to love
and all the others like him down the years
(past and yet to come)
Help me to help myself
and to love myself
Will I ever love me?
