Only One

 

I’ve said my piece.
There is nothing left to say.
It’s up to you now.
It’s up to you to decide.
Will it be me or will it be her?
You’re not happy about it…
That much I do know.
But what would you have me do?
Should I remain as I am,
With only my imaginings to keep me warm
While arms that are not mine
Shield you from the cold?
Should I remain as I am,
Believing that you want me
Because that is what you say,
Even as you remain unwilling to do anything about it?
Is that all you think I deserve?
Is that all I am worth to you?
You may very well be asking
Who am I to dare make you choose?
I am a woman who loves you
With everything she has.
I am a woman who needs you
More than she has ever needed anyone.
I am a woman who wants so desperately to believe
That you mean it when you say you love her.
It’s taking more and more to make myself believe.
I know you well enough to know that you want both.
That you’re happy giving me your days
While she has your nights.
But even as I child I learnt to be selfish.
I am not willing to share.
If you are to be hers then go to her.
If you are to be mine then be mine alone.
So choose.
Will it be me or will it be her?

The End.
