Mysterious Mistress

Mysterious mistress

Honey you married me happily
yet you spend nights there.
I lie in the middle of our
bed to balance out the pain.
When will you come home?

Your mistress brings distress.
I continue to vow for you
although you break our vows.
I will lose this weight
just stop making me wait.
Honey when will you come home?

This mistress I curse deeply
and hope she ends up in a hearse.
I utter this with no remorse
as she stole my ever after.
Baby when will you come home?

I will raise our unborn child
without expecting any praise.
A call from the police
bringing no solace at all,
notifies me of your death.
I realize you won't be coming home.

My child has lost a father.
Your mistress has lost a lover.
I lost you way before your
untimely death dear darling.
