she curls her hair and listens to music
she’s looking forward to tonight
He said he would come tonight.
*
she knows it’s wrong but
she can’t help it
He’s the only one who cares.
*
she spends her days waiting for Him
she sprays the sweet exotic scent that
intoxicated Him.
*
the phone rings
she answers immediately
He can’t make it.
*
something must have come up
something always comes up.
He has a family after all.
*
the music in the background
is speaking to her, saying,
you’ll always be second.
