A Seat For Me

There would always be a seat for me Where there isn't a friend or an enemy Better to be hated than to be ignored? When nobody heard a singled word There would always be a bench Where is a tree with only one branch Enough places for a lot of people But with me, no one wants to mingle There would always be a chair Solitaire in the class, into no pair The teacher looked at others, he doesn't care I can't tell if everybody is everywhere There would always be a throne and a stool To give me the crown of a fool I thought it would be my new home But I forgot that I wasn't asked to come The place is always comfier on the other seat I can't lift my sadness because of my exhausted feet My limbs are tired to rest on a delusion I need to be the best to find a mansion But, how can I enter somewhere with a locked heart? Why he's not my missing part, not another restart Unrequited love is like a porcelain bed You felt sheltered until pain hit your head Kissing the dust, hugging the floor I can't sit and wait for love anymore His shadow is the only thing he left me to cherish Something which never existed can't perish There would always be a seat for me Where loneliness is an epitome

This is heart breaking, Loic, and somehow very beautiful. I feel as if I've been there, but much of it was my own faulty perception and refusal to reach out.

Thank you^^ I guess that you too believed that someone else loved you? We can't blame ourselves, I think that sometime dreaming is just too much glistening. Btw, can I ask you which flower is your profile pic?
