The Other Woman
 |
| Moore, Aisha K. |
You wonder whether
I am serious doubting my intent this
ruthless inclination
ruthless inclination
the revengeful desire to destroy
what I cannot have
Sleeping on me would be your fatal
flaw
flaw
underestimating the seething rage
that swept through my being erasing all rationale and calm
that swept through my being erasing all rationale and calm
eradicating logic and reason
You think I won’t shatter that thin
shell shaping and forming your world
shell shaping and forming your world
expose your flawed spirit and selfish
self
self
Yeah, I’ll let her know that every
taste of you has a
taste of you has a
lingering residue of me and
every technique you ever taught was
learned in my secret sanctuary
learned in my secret sanctuary
You want to back me into a corner
with ultimatums of loyalty and silence
with ultimatums of loyalty and silence
coupled with monogamy or else
in exchange for lifestyle maintenance
and
and
random rendezvous, offering up bits
of you cause I can’t have the whole
of you cause I can’t have the whole
My refusal sparks your goodbye after
my morals have been compromised
my morals have been compromised
self esteem demolished and self worth
measured price tag attached, bartered and sold
measured price tag attached, bartered and sold
Trust me, if you walk through that
door I have no problem
door I have no problem
Making that call.
