Mistake, Her or Me?

I don't think I will ever believe
That your mistake was her
Rather comming home to me

Don't you know how well I know you?
I saw your happiness when it was you two
And the mood swings when at times it was through

Your the type of person that wouldn't do well alone
Don't use that to come back home
For that would be true injustice
I've always thought you had more substance

I'm not mad at this hudge mess
But will never survive being second best
My Love, my qualities are worth much more
If true love for her,you should run to her door

This is a very hard place you write about.  What catches my breath is the self worth that is so apparent here.  To be in the midst of a heart shattering experience and still not lose the importance of self is quite a task that many fail.  The essence of this concept is what I enjoy of this piece the most.  Kudos!!

Heart wrenching, truthful, so full of believable emotion. I really felt the emotions flowing through this. Well done, Z.

That has to be hard... letting someone go who you love because you know they love someone else... and I agree you express the emotion that comes from that situatioin so well..

Don't ever be second best.  He has to love you as much as you love him, and if he loved you he wouldn't be with anyone else.  Nicely written.
