The Mistress

It's getting late 
 Your man's not home
 And I'm the reason
 You're all alone
 You called his work
 But he's not there
 And I'm the reason
 You sit up in fear
 You pray it's the rain
 Thats kept him away
 But I'm the reason
 Your man is out to play
 Wanna know my secret
 How I lure them in
 Well, that's simple
 By being a friend
 To tell the truth
 I'm no beauty queen
 Your man is here
'Cause I cater to his needs
 He sits here, happy
 In my embrace
 But he closes his eyes
 And he sees your face
I envy you
 But you're such a fool
 What you're taking for granted
 I would treat so royal
 You're his life
 And I'm just a phase
 Give him some time
 And I'll surely fade
 But late at night
 When he sneaks in
 Ask him, my friend,
Where has he been
 He'll tell you his lies
 But remember the truth
 I'm the reason 
Your man wasn't with you.  09/13/15

(friendly note: check He'll, fourth line from the bottom) Login to Reply James Inman Date: 10/2/2015 7:25:00 AM Kiley, I'm glad you figured out how to edit your poems after posting them. I'm constantly finding mistakes in my poems and correcting them (comments cannot be corrected). Variable syllable count means having different numbers of syllables in each line. For instance, in your poem you have 4 syllables in the first two lines but 5 in the third. If you haven't already, click on the Forms button at the top and it will describe the various poetry types. Hope to see more from you.
