Mistress in the Shadows

Hidden in the shadows, loving in the dark

Never knew he carried a hidden mark

I met him by chance, sparks in the night

He whispered sweet words, made everything right

Unaware of the truth he concealed

Thought I had a chance, a love unrevealed

But whispers in the wind, secrets unknown

He was already taken, a heart not his own

Now I see the mirror, reflecting my pain

Love built on lies, dancing in the rain

I was blind to the signs, lost in his disguise

Living in a fantasy, behind my eyes

Unknowing of the chain, caught in his game

A mistress in the dark, carrying the blame

He gave me hope, he gave me dreams

Fell deeper into love, or so it seemed

But truth came crashing, like a thunderstorm

Shattering my world, breaking the norm

Now I hear the whispers, truths I can't ignore

A wife, a life, a love he swore to keep secure

Standing on the edge, heart torn apart

A mistress’s story, broken from the start

I was blind to the signs, lost in his disguise

Living in a fantasy, behind my eyes

Unknowing of the chain, caught in his game

A mistress in the dark, carrying the blame

Would I have loved him if I knew?

Would I have stayed, or walked away too?

But now I see the light, breaking through the night

Time to find my worth, my strength, my flight

No more shadows, no more lies

I’ll walk away and dry my eyes

A mistress no more, I’ll stand alone

In my own truth, I’ve finally grown
