Trust/Understand

I am

the other woman

mouth full of fire

body of glass

it takes

one insincerity

and I am

sure that you

are disloyal

trust is

a funny thing

uncertain

like a joke

that I don’t

understand

so when everybody

laughs, I assume

the joke’s on me

and sometimes

I am so stubborn

in my solidarity

that I punish myself

for aching

for you

and you become

the enemy

so I spew heated

words with the

intent to burn

I am

perforated

third degree

detonation

I am

so

*******

sorry
