The Other Woman ......
I am made to feel alone in a battle where there is no room
My thoughts are not heard my tears shall not fall around your eyes
I lock away the pain you gave with the unknowing statement
I feel like I am now the other woman not the partner I came to be
A tension that has been discovered within this moment
I see a doubt of my place within the most adoring partnership
Am I to lay down and hide like I do not breathe
Will my tears dissappear in the morning breeze
Shall my fears be washed away by the crystal of waves that crash
I am here but I am like a secret journal that must be locked
You say nothing changes but you do not hear my silence
That should of haunted your hearts inner thought
I do not matter as my feelings are rocked
She plays a game that you do not see the abuse
Her weapon is children as swords they fall into your heart
They are driven straight to you where you now do not stand tall
She says you are not a man and this is her goal to bring you down
You do not see how the mind of the last now brings
She plays her role with determination that grows
Her making is your braking
She does not crown you but only drowns you
You feel out of control and turn to me
But you do not see what you are doing to me
You hear no words that I speak my heart is now at your feet
As I am made to be the other woman in all defeat
Not as your partner to rule lifes rule I feel disguarded
Not the woman you made the dreams to be .....
Now I am just the other woman ....
