Am I

Am I the one who is to stand by your side,

And watch you be happy in someone else’s arms?

 

Am I supposed to smile at the audacity

He has to kiss those rosy lips in front of me?

 

Am I the one who has to hear complaints

And ignore the fact that I too have needs?

 

Am I the rock beneath that foot of yours

The one you walk all over without protests?

 

Am I the toy you play within your sleep

When he’s the one you want be held by?

 

What am I now, my dearest girl?

How much longer will you torture me?
