The secret
How many seconds, minutes, hours
Turned into days, weeks, months, years
Holding us together in our secret life.
I have been your best friend
The lover you needed
The mother you wanted
The wife that she was not.
I was hidden away
As I took care of so many things
She could no longer do,
Or wanted to do.
As you complained I listened
To your woos, as only a lover could
To your raves, as only a best friend could
To your heart, as only a mother could
I opened my heart and life
For us to share and live
It was so many years
I was the other, “the secret”.
When life did give you freedom
And by the Grace of God
He took her home
I was there, your secret to console you
I have only been allotted 7 years
For “Us” to shine and thrive
In the beautiful Arizona sun
Before God stole my secret.
