Black Poetry : conversation with the other woman, in the mirror

[hadassah]

"conversation with the other woman, in the mirror"

..after all,
will he believe us
if we tell him
the best way to
show him how much
we love him

is to leave him?

.in any case,
could we stop holding
on to our hopes because
we're so damned good
at intellectualizing
this situation?

it's a no-winner

and that's a no brainer...

but what about the incessant
beating of this heart, part?

.well,
he won't like it ~
not even a little bit,
though he'll know he
wasn't played,
not after all the happy joy
we made....

.sooo,
what are we going to say
to him that I won't regret
for life? ~

I can't keep ignoring my own
self-pride, nor disrepsect
his wife...

hadassah,

you speak the experiences of many sistas. Very sad realities involved here. Bittersweet, no doubt. Loved the perspective; in the mirror. Tight!

Thank you
