Rebound Girl Poem by Patience Connelley

You are only here when are in need of release
Or in need of certain items that only you have
Now you have made her aware
Of why you have no feelings for her

You are in love with someone
That doesn’t share the same feelings as you
She is just the girl
That helps the time go past.

He feels so empty inside
He is trying to be filled
His plan at the moment
Is to keep his mind off her

The memories of her
Fills his mind with noise
He wants you to be his earplugs
To distract him away from her

It is because of these types of memories that he falls apart
And you are the glue to put the pieces back together
Even though he doesn’t think about it
He does the same thing to you

You are not the one he says “I love you “ to
He only thinks of you as a friend
But really, truth be told
You are his rebound girl

You give up you own flesh for him
You give him the items that you want
The money that he “needs”
You would even so much
Break off the bonds of others to make him happy
And even though he doesn't feel the same
You love him to the point of bleeding for him
He can leave you for days on end
And you would still be waiting
Cause you are his rebound girl

Why do you do this for him?
Maybe its b/c maybe deep down he feels the same way too
Or maybe it is the punishment from past memories
Or maybe it’s history repeating itself from mother to daughter

At the end of the day this life that you live is full of maybes
Maybe he will hold your hand
Maybe this will all end and that you will finally be his
No......
That could never happen
Even if it did you would still be afterimage of the one he still loves
But yet you wait
Cause you are his rebound girl
