The Other Woman

He peeks into my soul through the windows of my eyes. As he stares i know i am 
in love and so is he.

Such are the things i tell myself when i see him with her.

She is not me by a long shot, but what she is i am not.

You see that is his world. The foundation he has set over his heart and built a 
home.

I have seen her ghost...........pictures in his wallet and the lunch she packs for him.

I have felt her presence.......when im riding in the car that she has her seat 
adjusted in. I am not allowed to touch it because he wants the reminders of her 
to hurt me and keep me in my place.

I torture myself when he makes love to me...........whispering sweet endearments 
in my ear....."I'm gonna leave her soon, be patient love!" I know it is a lie yet i hold 
it close to my heart as his name escapes my mouth.

So you see your honor i had a right to key his car, flat his tires and smash his 
head lights!

He lied to use BOTH!! He told us he loved us!

So yes i plead guilty to my crime:

I am the other woman!
