love letter to my lover's wife
and if your wife ever worries
i wish i could stand in front of her
more than twenty centimetres shorter
and thirty years younger
as i am
and tell her
"look
it is just me
don't worry.
it's you
you are his family
you are the one he's always coming home to
you are his home
it's you
don't you see?
don't worry,
please
it is just me
more than twenty centimetres and thirty years less
so much less than you
it's always been you
for him
and i am just me"
(i won't take your man
because i can't
and i wouldn't.)
