My time spent with him is always short. He keeps staring at the clock To keep track of time Anytime he is with me. My desire is just one thing, More time with my lover. Anytime I asked for more time, He keeps giving me the unending promises. If I go further, pushing my request I'm being seen as a nag. I'm the one He comes to with his bag of problems not her. I'm the one That lightens up his mood not her But I'm not the one He shares his happiness with I'm not the one In his dreams I'm just a mere tool of satisfaction to him. A beautiful woman is being displayed On his social media accounts. A woman that is flawless and admire by all. A woman every woman wants to be like, A woman that's not me but her. My heart breaks anytime I see a picture of her But I guess that's my fate To be the other woman. Our time in public are always short. We are scared of being caught by others. The society sees me as a thief. Yeah, I'm a thief, Stealing another woman's husband. I can't show him to my friends and family For he is not mine but another's. Anytime he gives me promises, My heart aches for I know they are just mere words That won't be fulfilled. He looks at me in the eyes and says the lie, The lie "I love you". My face always leaps for joy When he says this But deep down in my soul, I'm sad. I do know I'm his fun tool And he will never leave her for me For his heart is with her and not me. I'm just a cure to his sexual urges, The other woman to be hidden From the face of the world. I'm his secret sin. I have taken myself so little To be a mere tool. I have thrown away my dignity and pride But I'm restoring it now. I better be a no man's woman than the other woman. I better don't have a man than to be a thief. I deserve a full loaf of bread and not just a shared portion. I'm leaving and changing my name. I'm tired of being the other I want to be the only I bought the lie that men are scarce out there. I bought the lie that I'm not beautiful enough But now I know that I'm beautiful And the right man for me is out there. THE END

sorry it came late.... this is it.................... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The other Man (A reply) I was sane before I knew you Then I grew to become a miser when I saw you So much passion and lust tucked away in my mind’s shelf Unwilling to share, call me stingy for wanting you all to myself Lying in your bed at night, I could lie to you with just a heartbeat The game I played knowing you will be lonely without me Like a shooting star I come and go as I please Not wanting to be pinned so you don’t get used to me With series of unending pleas and request Piercing hard to the left side of my beating chest You desperately desire my time and kisses All I could offer is teases and empty promises I was never the same after you came Somehow you could help me with my self-blame Always seem to lift and put a smile on my face Every problem I brought to your notice was a solved case You were somehow the dream girl I needed in my reality How dare you think, you were only meant for my therapy I guess I became insane because I felt I lost you A lot did change about you and me too I post lots of pictures online just to spite you Just to make you feel envious, a foolish thing to do Because I heard you have moved on from me It’s was my fate to feel like other man, bitter taste of my sad story Believe me when I say I want more time with you physically But I am not the type to display affections publicly, The society can paint us the way it wants others to see I just want to be with you and feel your love for real Let’s put a brake about showing me to your friends and family Until all this blows away, we can’t truly be free my soul rejoices when I spot the light in your eyes I love you for real, a fact that I cannot deny I will say anything to see that smile You just have to believe me, even if it’s a lie I know sometimes, it all makes you feel sad We can work things out when times feel less hard I have played lots of games, but I can’t play you We have lots of fun and memories too You don’t have to think you are not the only one The only one I have hidden is you alone Wherever I go, I will find my way back to your waiting arms and hugs My heart is for the only one that cures my urge Whatever you think of yourself, is not true you are not even synonymous with a tool Take pride in yourself, like I have always done It’s better to be mine than be on your own If you have to change your name, let it carry my own I need a queen to seat with me on my throne You have always being the one and only Leaving me will shatter my world and leave me lonely I have got a beauty in you right here Search no further for a good man, I am the only one out there. The end. 1 Like 1 Share |
