Homewrecker
“Home-wrecker” they called me,
But this, I am not.
Not sure why they worried
Not sure why they fought.
I’m just a friendly,
I’m just passing through.
That man made me laugh,
He was just passing, too.
Did I know he was yours?
Did I know you had claim?
Maybe I did,
But I still feel no shame.
For I’m a free agent
and I do as I please.
Sorry not sorry
if this brings you unease.
I have no other motive,
not moving in for the kill.
But his jokes are clever
and laughing gives me a thrill.
I treat him no different
than any other man
But you do not see this —
You see a false plan.
You think that I’ll swoop
when the timing is right,
to steal him away,
running into the night.
You smile to my face,
then spit at my back.
I mourn for your man,
and the confidence you lack.
You’ll never be happy
if you peck and pester.
Mistrust will grow roots
and soon flourish, then fester.
You’ll blame it on me
but the truth really is,
I was just passing through
when my gaze met his.
We had an exchange
but nothing much more.
Yet now I’m home-wrecker,
a bitchslutcuntwhore!
I carry these names
though they do not feel like mine.
I just hope that they fade
and lose weight over time.
I have no ill will.
I understand that it’s hard
to keep your composure
when your comforts are jarred.
Jealously cannot sub
for passion or care.
You must know in your heart
whether true love is there.
Be flattered, be proud
that he catches more than one eye!
And KNOW that you, too,
Have the attentions of more than one guy.
So walk tall, side-by-side
and don’t hover or guard.
And please next time think twice
Before dealing the “home-wrecker” card!
