(the right one)

"two wrongs don't make one right."

[4 rights will only lead you 'round in a square & 4 lefts will take you right from where you left.]

Something is better than nothing & some things are best left unsaid. Some thing to just be and solely known; something to the world, unknown.

Nothing holds an invaluable sum, nothing becomes less of something. Nothing was once something... but nothing was left when you left me.

The right one was left alone at home; for the 'better' one you wanted to bed & bone.

The right one was still there when you returned.

The right one was ignored & overlooked, for better ones that you'd rather implore & pork.

The right one was always wrong & at fault; left by default.

Yet her only fault...

She never left the wrong one for the better one, before he was dead and gone & you were on to the next one.

I am just another reflective perception of light, venturing through this dark continuum; life. Be effulgent until the #EnD despite how void it may appear! You could be guiding a lost soul from depths you may never know. #EnergyNeverDies
