The Other Woman

I took a journey in my head
Going over the words that were said
I was a lover whose heart led
But you made this lover a sinner instead

I believed the words and promises spoken
Patience and time were exchanged as a token
"I'm free" you said from a past that was broken
And I didn't dig deep for the words unspoken

Little did I know about your current past
Little did I know about your heart
"She knows" were the words that were spoken last
And then my heart just fell apart

I broke a home that I thought was broken
I broke ties that were already broken
Or at least those were the words you've spoken
But I should have listened to the ones unspoken

I held my head low
Crowned with shame
I closed my eyes too
Carrying all the blame

"I will stay and make things right"
"Of course" I said and didn't put up a fight
Still walking in shame
Thinking I am to blame

Grieving?
Yes, but not for my broken heart
Cause "The End" you wrote on this chapter from the start
But I am grieving cause I never wanted to play "the other woman" part
