To Adam From Eve

TO ADAM FROM EVE

As tradition dictates,
The mistress never wins.
But what happens when the mistress
Is already the wife?
Confusion swirled in your life
And now you’ve made your bed
With the one you should have left.
Only to leave me,
Your Honey,
Hidden away as your other.
Why couldn’t you see me
For who I was?
Why assume the ex was the one?
Familiarity is strong, huh?
You cling to her,
Expecting your blessings to flow
But you know
That you only see peace
When you’re with me.
I keep you strong
As woman should her man,
An Eve for an Adam.
We are connected by a thread
You cannot sever.
No matter how hard you try
To make the counterfeit fit
In your life
She’s not your Wife…
She leaves you open,
Uncovered, unsafe.
Chaos follows wherever she dwells
But you insist she is the one.
…yet you cannot lose me…
Maybe one day soon
My love,
You’ll see me for who I am;
Your wife,
Your helpmeet,
Your companion,
Your heart…
