standing on the corner

waiting for

your latest man

i knew you when

sweetheart mother

2 kids & your long-term

working husband

you the stay-at-home wife

you gave all that up

for a back-alley jumper

whip thin dark lothario

man would fuck anything had a pulse

but for you the boredom

made all that love

your kids hate you now

not understanding your needs

to have somebody inside

different from the long years

that guy working hours

to keep the roof over

keep the dream afloat

oh yes you were lonely

if you never thought

while in your lovers arms

those few seconds

would cost you your home

the life you had

& looking on to find

how cheap it was to give away
