You weren’t mine to lose

I never looked for it, but there it was. On full display, everyone chosen over me. Each dagger cut a new hole. Hearing about the relationship, all I could do was drown myself in my tears, others, and alcohol. Forever in the shadows of someone else, sometimes even my own blood, crushing the already bruised and battered heart. I had no right to feel so destroyed; he was never really mine. I tell my heart that every single night, but it still doesn’t know.
