Third Wheel -

Abandoned / "Best friend" cast aside for an / Infatuation

By Meredith HarmonPublished 3 years ago • 1 min read
Instability / Follows discord when you yank / Off one wagon wheel.

How was I to know?

Your marriage was on the rocks.

You begged me for help.

*****

How could I help you?

I had my eye on a guy,

And you wanted him.

*****

Before I know it

You and guy are on a trip,

Off finding yourself.

*****

Interesting, that

You found yourself under him -

Boundaries? What? Where?

*****

What is loyalty?

I watched your love spiral down

Into obssession.

*****

All's well that ends well,

You chased and lost, meanwhile, your

Husband comforts me.
