The Other Woman

There is another woman in this relationship
And I have got to come to grips
With the fact you made me look crazy
And I watched as you played me
To the tune your song sings
But I’ve seen this before and your lie rings
Similar to someone I’ve known before
Someone I used to adore
Someone I worshipped and craved
Someone I thought I could have saved
From herself
But my snow bank melt
When I fight and realise
Each word that escapes my lips dies
On her doorstep as she warms herself by the hearth
And I felt my world turn dark
As the earth circled around her moon
And it was like the bells of doom
Sounded in my head
And I cried in bed
But in school I put sunny side out
And I ignore the tiger in her mouth
And it’s just like back then
I still remember when
They all believed what she plied
And, God knows, I could’ve died
But something was watching over me
And God crept in and set me free
I was lying on the floor
And watching the door open into the something more
As schisms healed themselves
And I could only be grateful for the cards I was dealt
When she held poker face
I smile coz I hold the ace
Now you fling the deck into my face
As if I should be ashamed by your disgrace
And I can almost hear you say
“What’s up with her anyway?”
I can almost feel their gazes creep
Over the place where I used to sleep
And I know it’s all about the win
The thing that people will intimate is sin
And you never had it with me
What kind of wisdom drove me away from thee
Some subtle intuition rising
What is it that he is disguising
When he throws smoke and mirrors into the air
I was actually there
And there were diamonds around my head
And I recollect the things you said
When you thought I didn’t hear
And it’s not your magnificence that I hold dear
It’s the break in the torrent to reveal the truth
The boy behind the brute
