The Arms of Your Man
you said, "well, we are only mortal"
eyes knowingly lowered and averted
to my level, this level we were on
this place I didn't belong
but I love your man, said my eyes
blurred at the sight of you
so sharp your point of view
paralyzed in fear and anger
with integrity, I bared my soul
my sister, I love you so much more
who stays with a rolling stone anyway?
my role so sad as he rolls down betrayal
with commitment as your top card
the ring, the mortgage, the puppy
he dangles for you like a carrot
then mixes my tainted medicine
a crystal rock, its edges sharp
good intentions were its message
smiled high, wrists back, arms extended
into the arms of your man, encircling me.
