Seconds

Who was second?
When I made you first?
Ten times as much love
wouldn't have changed
what it was worth.

Choice is first.
love before now,
not worth more,
knowing love before,
doesn't less love now.

Who was second?
When I made you first?
Ten times as much love,
wouldn't have changed,
what you were worth.

Where do all the tears come from?
And when done,
where do they go?
Who controls them?
And how do i hurt them?
I think they must know you,
must be a friend of yours,
some sympathetic mission,
supporting you not me.

Who was second?
When I made you first?
Ten times as much love,
wouldn't have changed,
what I was worth.
