who'd be a mistress eh ?

Alone or used?

 

It can’t have been easy, watching from afar,

Wishing things turned out a little better for you,

Smiling faces at weddings lovers wishing on a star,

Missing all those things you believed to be true,

Yet you held on waiting for Mr Right,

Thought maybe he’d come on a great white horse,

Your savour your shining knight,

You still wait filling with remorse,

Old suitors married with kids and a wife,

All seemingly happy with their lot,

Now feeling you lost out on a life,

They seem to have everything that you have not,

In truth always the bridesmaid yet never a bride,

Your friends all married each with their man,

This life you yearned for always denied,

Were you too eager? Is that why they ran,

It’s a lonely life a spinster alone,

Too late now to try anything new,

No liaisons arranged on the phone,

Dashed hopes of watching children as they grew,

Should you turn to religion now there’s nothing else,

Perhaps the priest will let you serve at the altar,

No, everyone would know then you are still on that shelf,

That all your efforts tried and faltered,

Enough then, to feed the birds in the park,

Throwing stale bread from a stale life,

To slumber all alone in the dark,

Never to be called as someone’s wife,

No it’s never easy to watch from afar,

Plenty offers for a mistress in tow,

No, you’ll wait for your shining star,

For that kind of love you could not go,

Though he may never come you’re mister right somehow,

You will never give in to that Mr right now.
