This Dumb Love

[thisgirl818]

I wake up with you crying every night
You mourn for her with me beside you
Your clouded eyes see me as her
My jet black hair dyed in coffee brown
Just like her or what used to be
You don't look into my eyes
The only thing that's different between me and her
My eyes, my deep dark brown eyes
I am nothing but a spare, a replacement
You call her name in pain with your eyes close
Sleeping in agony and your embrace desperate
Longing for warmth, holding onto something, anything
You're with her in your dreams
Contemplating to find a way to stay there forever
You've always wanted to sleep when she left
And as I get up and pull myself together,
You reached for me, once I wished I was her
The taste of bitterness made me chuckle
Wanting to leave but can't anyway
The sad truth is
I've fallen in love with your pain

it comes out that the main character who is talking (a lady)is madly in love with a guy who does not love her the way she does love him,it seems the guy is in love with another lady who always hurts him,,the lady who is in love with the guy feels she's just but a spare or rather a second option for the guy,,she's trying to leave the guy but coz of the love she has for him she's unable to leave,, instead she accepts to stay with the guy.

Do you think she'll be able to leave him, someday?

The Lady has Psychological and social dynamics, she can't easily leave because of love that's pain her heart and the grip for hope was there.The lady in the mirror was trying to flatter herself how much more she wanted to become someone's his love longing for.

from my point of view the main character talking is a lady who is in love with a guy that is love with another girl, but the girl and the guy are not together anymore and the main character is just like a spare to feel in and the guy sees the main character as the girl she love, but because of love the main character cannot leave the guy

"once I wished I was her"
There is your poem
That moment
Something changed - what happened?

maybe somehow along the way she lost herself, knowing she'd never be that girl- the one.
