I am the other woman
I share a man
I sadly settle for number two
I bite more than I can chew.


I am in it for benefit
because I forfeit the real profit
I am a society misfit.


I walk in the shadow of another
I sleep at night with the ring's lover
I disrespected a wedding vow
No one ever wonder how.
For I have him buried in my blouse
I am the runaway church mouse.
