Mistress

Je’free

She snuck into your wallet
As you laid asleep.
She took the photograph
Of your wife inserted in there.
She studied her face,
Then looked into the mirror
Where she could figure out
How to imitate her look.
A bit of sanity is lost.
She knew it was quite extreme.

She laid back in bed beside you
With the fantasy of marriage.
She was wearing the eau de toilette
That you were familiar to.
She must be mimicking her whispers
With scripted terms of endearment.
She showed him how she mastered
Running her fingers through his hair,
Just like how you were caressed before,
But she knew it was unoriginal.

Will she be forgiven
If her fierce kisses were of insecurity?
Will she be understood
If her closet was same as someone else?
Will second remain second
If she was a copycat of the first?

She spoke to the dolls
As if they were your children.
She noticed the ring around your finger,
Then she looked at her hands -
No, not a ring to match yours.
And each time the alarm clock sounded,
She knew you would have to be returned.
But she would still prepare your favorite -
Ham and cheese omelette.

Her fierce kisses, insecure -
You know they are forgivable.
Her closet, same as someone else -
You know it is understandable.
Her, being copycat of the first,
Sadly, second remains second
