Third Wheel Poem by Julia Queen

You hug me only when he's not around
You hold his hand in front of me, I don't make a sound

There are no words to express how I feel
Doreen Ortiz, I wish all of this could be more real

I can't do this, I don't want to be a third wheel
I can't always be there every time you say, 'heel'

I can't fight this love I will always have for you
But I wish somehow you could maybe love me too

That night in your room, it was all my fault that YOU tried to kiss ME
So please blame it on me, I deserve all the punishment, perhaps times THREE
I want to fight back, but your perfect eyes, there all I can see

Everything you do ties my heart in a knot
And you turn away and leave me in the gutters to rot

I wish somehow I could tell you...I wish I could work up the self-esteem
I walk up to you, head high...but then I see him...
