The Mistress

there is no cure for her lust and desire a constant want in a body on fire her soul is touched by hot sultry eyes burns deep in her heart, his endless lies she is the secret that he gets to keep as dreams of him are invading her sleep creeping in shadows to hold her so tight fingertips reaching for her in the night he has consumed her body and mind adoring him while her eye was blind he does not belong in her open arms flirting with kisses to inhale her charms misery fills her life as he slips away there will be no returning another day put down like the old family dog, Rex she was his mistress and it was just sex OneOfYourBestContest

Very well expressed, Betty...so much truth in it. But, then, so many people are prepared to play second fiddle, when they could easily change orchestra and become leading violinists! // paul

WOW, Betty. This is quite the write. You captured the sorry plight of mistresses so well. Most men are not willing to leave their wives for a mistress though they pledge love and devotion. How many women are fooled into believing they will. Strong message...
