I am the Other Woman

I am the Other Woman
Savannah Baer


In the quiet moments, I catch his gaze
Not on me but on another face
I see his smile, a longing look
In this moment my whole world shook
He looks at her eyes that shine
A longing there that once was mine
But when he turns to meet my stare
It is a friend’s warmth not a lover’s care
I feel like the other woman now
A place I never knew somehow
In his heart I thought I would stay
But I am just his friend at the end of the day
I wonder when his shift began
When I lost the old romantic man
How did I not see the love fade away
Or did I just hope it would always stay
I wear the ring, I share his name
But in my eyes it’s not the same
Unfulfilled I stand by his side
Not only a friend, but a faithful bride
But in my heart I crave to be
A woman he wanted to love fiercely
