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
