I Think Your Wife Will Like Me

I  think your wife will like me
As will you daughter
While you are gone
We will meet
and chat over martinis or tea

With me, I have the entire collection
Of our emails, photos, love poems
for her keeping
evidence she will need

We share a secret
Twisted, as it may be
She didn't know you were divorced
I didn't know you were married
Your daughter didn't know
You were a liar

We dry our tears and flip a coin
Deciding which of us will be the first
to  eat you alive

Rest assured
your bones will be picked clean
scavengers will find them
Other women searching
for a man to love them

When you return from your travels
You will find
Daddy's little girl has lost her innocence
You, no longer the hero in her eyes

You will be furious
blame your wife for not meeting your needs
and me, for discovering your lie
telling her
hurting her

You will tell me your daughter
is an innocent victim here
Ahem, As am I, darlin'
As is your wife
You are nothing less than
Dishonesty at it's finest

You are to blame for this
trail of tears and heartache
not her, not me
You are to blame for your lies
for being so smug
thinking neither of us would
catch on to your lies
or enlighten the other

Shhhhh, lower your voice
Sorry darlin', this is not about you
It is about truth and lies
The truth has set us free
Put another bullet in the chamber
You have no one to blame
but the man in the mirror

Yes, I think your wife will like me
Two victims drowning in the same sea
