Replacement

The phone no longer rings
The door bell never makes a sound
The verbal affection stops
The love seems so distant

When you tell someone how much you care and nothing is given in return
When they look at you and they see someone else
When the spark is gone
When the personal information is no longer being shared
When she feels lonely

Can we one day be as we once were
Will you be apart of the family
Will you love them as if they were you own
Can she come back and feel like it will all be okay
Being happy is what everyone wants

Don’t be the replacement
Don’t be a stand-in
You are the team and no one can run your playbook
Love yourself and they will love you back (maybe)

She became a replacement/stand-in
