Nothing More

I am the one
Standing by your side
Making you laugh
Making you smile
I am the one
Yearning to know
If I am simply
Nothing more than a friend
Or if you think
I am something more

I am the one
Watching you
Around other girls
Noticing how you treat them
Is how you treat me
And I wonder
If I am just like them
Or if I am something more

I am the one
You choose to lean upon
When the days
Are weighing you down
You rest your head on my arm
And say you wish to stay
And not be forced to move
So I wonder
If I am something more

And then one day you tell me
Who someone more is to you
And that her affection for you
Has made you return the favor
You break my heart without knowing it
And send tears flowing down my cheeks
You smile as you say so
And I cry while you speak
I guess I am nothing more

Weeks later you come running
A smile lighting up your face
And you show me a stuffed toy
Telling me of your joy
I force a fake reply
One that sounds happy for you
Even though my insides
Are being destroyed
By your joy
Internal tears fall
Cascading down my heart
To the very depths of sorrow

I am the one
Standing in the distance
Watching you wrap your arms
Around this person
Who is something more to you
And wonder who am I
Am I your little sister?
Am I just a friend?
Or do I even have a place?
I beg you, I want to know
Why did you make me think
That I was something more?
