This Other-Other

50

By KateWest


This Other Woman has no designer bag.

No silk sheets or fancy shoes.

No chilled champagne

Or caviar.


This Other Woman is in a studio downtown

Not a four star hotel.

Where there are no gourmet dinners

Or even flowers.


She doesn’t get facials

Or manicures

Or Caribbean cruises.

She can’t remember the last time

She had a massage.


This Other Woman drives a Hybrid

But can’t afford organic.

She has cable

But doesn’t go to the movies.


This Other Woman has nothing to offer

But being different.

She’s there when needed

But no longer waits by the phone.


You get the flowers and the dinners

And someone to put away groceries.


You have the children.

You have the house.

You have someone who comes home to you.

Eventually.


And he will never leave you.


This Other Woman is just like you.

Except in her wrong choices.

If things were different

She might even be you.

This is superb! Have bookmarked as a favourite - hope you don't mind but I've tweeted this to a friend - I know she will love this as both her and her hubby are having a hard time right now.
