Not Just The Other Woman

by Callen Damornen

To go through life wearing the mark

A scarlet sign is a pierce in the heart

To be in love - a secret life.

He will not allow it to be.

He is a pillar of the community.

Heart of darkness in the daylight.

Heart of fire by the nightfall.

Not good enough to be yours

Just good enough to get you through

They only label her the whore.

Seek out your manhood

Let it be known

The woman you love

There is no shame

Forsake the rules that enslave love.
