The Other Woman

I fell head long at first sighting 

Now I'm asking 

Weren't there warning signs? 

Or I just turned blind to it 

As many would the blinking yellow on a traffic light 

Slow down or crash it bellows 

Well ..crash I did

Into this abysmal state

Sitting  and waiting besides my telephone

Would you call?

Would you call me baby like you always do when I answer?

Stolen kisses plague my memories 

Your scent now turning musty on the sheet invade my dreams

Though you were never mine 

I waited, it's just a matter of time 

Your parting words when you leave

Yes, unto these words I cleave

Now, you tell me it is over

That you never meant to hurt me

I love you, you say 

But try to move on..you deserve better

All I deserve, a letter?

Sent by you, 

How do I tell your son that his father never knew

That I waited to share the news but you never came 

That all I was to you was ...the other woman.
