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

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...
