You always came in first place

I was the runner up

To my own life

I thought your win was mine

But you kept it for yourself

Showing the world how you made it

All on your own you said

Forgetting I held your hand to the top

You let me go 

When I was no longer needed

Soon you’ll watch

When I win with someone else

When we climb to the top

Together hand in hand

You forget first place is lonely

If you have no one to share it with
