The Other Woman

My muddied, motherly eyes I turned away When he looked at her in that lustful way Drowning my voice as my tongue I silenced She was my shield against his violence I had so devalued her existence That from me he got no resistance When on her tight lips his kisses landed To her, the fault I scornfully handed When timidly upon his lap she sat I knew his manhood was eager to chat I saw the smutty sneaky little snake Her innocence he was ready to take When I chose to ignore his ******** I packed away parental protection She was the prey I threw into his cage She could absorb his penetrating rage I knew fear was his aphrodisiac With her tears she begged for him to attack Excited, his entrance was really vicious To him, her agony was delicious He filled her with soul stealing suffocating shame The devil’s spawn, she was the one I blamed When he drifted, he slithered into her bed Dreaming of the day, when she would drop dead She was the other woman, my rival I had no regard for her survival When his heavy fist fractured her fresh face, I was glad she was there to take my place Into her spirit I twisted the knife Taking from her everything but her life In his wrath I left her alone to drown Abdicating my maternal crown
