Aside

You brought it up jokingly, thought it wouldn’t hurt

It was just an aside, nothing big

I guess you don’t know why and what it meant

It’s just a hole you’ll continue to dig

 

I laughed it off cause that’s what I do

I could tell that you were relieved

I sat there, mind buzzing, going insane

You were fine because you were freed

 

Free to flirt and not feel pain

Free to act stupid and not seem insane

Free to not ruin your so-called plans

Free to make a 3rd of a crush your man

 

Of course there’s jealousy, I found him first

Obviously we didn’t get involved

I still wonder about that moment and shame

It’s called respect until his problems are solved

 

They say. . .

Lets set her up, lets play a game

Were getting our fix

Everything’s the same

 

Oh she’ll be fine

It’s nothing new

We’ll take them all

And leave her a few

 

It’s not a game anymore; I’m starting to want

Why is that so hard to conceive?

It’s not so much of an aside my friend, it’s now becoming a need.
