Nobody’s Girl: The Swan Song of a Narcissist’s New Supply

June 22, 2023

I’m your replacement (I’m his backup plan)
they call me Nobody’s Girl
I’m not loved by anyone
I’m at the center of nobody’s world
I am the apple of nobody’s eye
the sunshine of nobody’s life
my legacy never extends the night
and one day I will be nobody’s wife.
what’s it like to be the only one?
how does it feel to be the one and only?
I’ve only been one of many
lost in the harem, I am part of plenty
I’m always caught up in the rivalry
between who they want and where I wanna be
creating pedestal after pedestal
for men who only settle for me
devalued and degraded
priceless when I’m naked
in the sheets, I’m fucking famous
but just when I think I’ve “made it”
once we get back up I’m nameless
I knew better so they’re blameless
but I believe in people changing
I believe in fate and destinations
yet the more I keep my patience
the more they keep me waiting
what happened to the dedication?
where is the appreciation?
why is it so complicated?
to get my love language translated?
where is my love song?
where are my flowers?
where has the time gone?
I can’t get back any of these hours.
what about the poetry?
that nobody wrote for me?
what about the promise ring?
for a future no one’s planning with me?
they keep telling me it’s gonna happen
I keep hearing “one day” and “you’ll see”
someday love is gonna love you back
but — fuck it.
now I don’t even want to be.
