The Other Woman

it’s two A.M when she gets the call
“hey beautiful.”

he tells her how he misses her
her voice, her camaraderie,
her spirit

(sweet talk)

she tells him how he’s
full of shit but she continues
listening none the less

she wants so badly to believe
he deserves another shot at
redemption
that things have changed
that he’s changed

then the conversation takes
a familiar turn and he begins
to describe to her the things
that he really misses

(dirty talk)

she fights her cravings but
this is a drug she has tried to quit
many times before

there is euphoria in the way he
desires her so fervently but
when she comes down from
her blissful high she crashes hard

shaking with loneliness
and shame

an addict to false affections
with no support group to turn to
