The Other Woman

I can't help but take what doesn't belong
                                 Always it follows, temptation's song
 
                                    Never for love, only the thrill
                          Keep my world in motion, prevent the still

                                Picket fences were never for me
                           Entanglement in others I can only see

                        Every sweet moment we must truly embrace
                         At least, that's what I tell my mirroring face

Ah! That face in the mirror masking the pain...a poem becomes a song. Cynthia
