trophy wife

Sweet meeting, Babylon’s glow so bright,
You arrived uninvited, piercing the night.
In my turquoise dress, it grazes my skin,
One breath to claim you, one heartbeat to win.
You came from the gutter,
And I, a tiger you must fight,
Chasing illusions, lost in the light.

Only did I know,
You loved the idea of me,
The idea of me as your prize,
The idea of me, your only.

The light again shines in this hollow place,
We face the truth, shame etched on our face.
Accusations fall like a thousand knives,
A pig’s friendship, my choice, my strife.
Tears fell as I turned to leave,
Breaking free, my soul to grieve.

Only did I know,
You loved the idea of me,
The idea of me as your prize,
The idea of me, your only.

I walk alone, no hand to hold,
On my way, to stories untold.
Leaving behind this hollow space,
A new path, a new embrace.
