From Your Mistress
Folder:
It's Over I don’t look at you anymore
Because looking makes me want you.
I don’t hear you anymore
Out of fear that your words will melt me.
I don’t come near to you anymore
So as to avoid
not-so-accidental brushes.
You belong to another.
You love her.
Yet I could satisfy you better.
We both fought to deny
what we both knew
I wanted you...
and you wanted me.
I had you once
or maybe you had me.
But it was wrong.
Our affair was doomed
because she loved you...
and you loved her.
This is what I knew
as I rose from your bed one morning.
She had been away as we
scarred the sheets of the bed
you and she share.
I turned, after dressing,
to face the door.
It was wrong I said then to my heart
You held my hand,
trying to keep me
as I pulled away and left.
You want me still
I know it
I want you still
you know it
You even tried to say you love me
to keep this body with you.
But you love her
and she loves you.
She trusts you
I can’t interfere anymore.
When you spoke the very same words
of endearment to me as you
speak to her each night
you cheapened them
You can’t love us both
the same
Go to her now
as you do always
Because although
I could love you more
she loved you first
and you will always
love her best.
