The mistress called I

Just another argument,
Just another day,
Bottle of gin beside me,
Trying to find a better way,
Out of here,
To get things clear.

Away from the head#$@%,
The lies,
And heartbreak.
What you said,
Was it really meant?
Or was it all just a fake?

A comfortable deception?
But convienent to who?
A miscalculated perception?
But from what point of view?

I think of you,
To us this is nothing new.
But as we tear each other apart,
Ourselves we fade away.
I lie here crying,
While you rented your wife and kids today.

Soft words and empty kisses,
Momentarily meet your demands.
But God's rose petal ice cream,
Sure melts slowly in your hands.
Doesn't she?

About This Poem

Last Few Words: I wrote this poem about my ex husband Adrian. Who was married when we met. It's true to say that when the mistress becomes the wife you create a vacancy! He ripped my heart out of my chest and stomped on it ! He toyed with me and enjoyed my pain. And his then wife was a religious freak who told him I was a witch and I had put a spell on him to make him leave her! I was so mad when I wrote this! It's had a lot of titles: Adrian the affair You and me Headf#$% central But recently I've settled with "the mistress called I"

I like this because I can feel the pull of strong emotion; but that being said, I feel the use of rhyme waters down the intensity of your feeling.

I found BPD very intriguing
