The Other Woman

Kurt Philip Behm

Trying to make some sense of it all

but ready to begin

my exit from this fated tryst

with baggage worn and thin

 

One last embrace is all I leave

for you and you alone

who held me through the darkest nights

— my home away from home

    This to me Kurt represents our journey on this earth. We all trying to make sense of this existential journey. Very nide and a fave

    Unfortunately, a last goodbye is all most 'other women' are left with.

  • arqios

    Especially tragic when there is that other woman up the family tree! Hits home in an empathetic kind of way. 🕊🙏🏻
