Another Man's Wife

In love I was lost I plunged headlong Oblivious of the consequences For she was fair to behold E’en fairer than the lily of the garden She took me by my hand And together we strolled We explored the new frontiers of love My company she greatly adored Until she couldn’t break free From the spell of love Cast on her by fate Uhm! It’s amazing what love can do Damning the consequences I forged ahead with my newfound love Paradise was unraveled before me An adventure of some sort it seemed “Give it a try,” I urged myself Shutting my mind deliberately to the odds For if she had known Then she wouldn’t have allowed me Entry into her life But her actions defies all explanation Void envelopes her being in my absence What had suddenly come over her? In so short a while When she laughed, I laughed When I cried, she cried as well The blissful times we shared were dear Held close to my heart like a testament “Could anything be this cherished?” I thought Life definitely seemed very good She withdrew at certain times Not because she was through with me, nay! But she remembers her Man-the Man “You cannot understand,” she tells me “You cannot understand,” she affirms I am another Man’s wife Like a thief in the night Her man came The show he stole For he had cut short his journey Unannounced he strolled into the scene After all he owned the show He assumes his manly duties once again Giving her love and succor as it were He was the man, I was a villain I was soon relegated to the rear Despondency and dejection became my theme song Jealousy I spat out like bile No one would empathize my shattered heart For I was warned before hand Not to fall in love with Another Man’s wife.
