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

Interesting write. Rather sassy yet thought provoking. (friendly note: check He'll, fourth line from the bottom)

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.
