I See
Wanting only to be
Loved.
By one who loves
Me.
For me.
He knows
Me.
He told me so.
I love him.
It's a hard love,
A life of lonely loving.
Never to be Shared.
Just to be stolen.
I'm a thief.
Stealing her love.
I see me for
What I really am.
A woman allowing a man
The opportunity
To cheat.
I am a cheater.
I have caused another to
Stray.
Was it me?
Was it him?
I made it easier for him.
If I made that choice,
Can't I make another?
She is a mother.
She is his wife.
She is somebody's sister.
Daughter,
Friend.
Just like I am,
To those that love me.
