I can never compete
With a lifetime of love, of memories
Of him knowing her
Even when she breaks his heart
Over and over and over again
Even when I let him break mine
Over and over and over again
It’s a vicious cycle of love, heartbreak, and regret
A cycle where I continue to break my own heart
Because I will never be pretty or skinny
Like her
I will never be enough!

Ohhhh, wonderful Patty. I’m reminded of Dolly Parton, of her beautiful, thoughtful, and humble song/poem from the 70’s called Jolene
