she exists
but act as if she doesn't
pretend she means nothing to you
live as if she never did
(can you?)
The other woman:
erase all memory of her
of a life spent together
of a happily ever-after
of everything being very different
(do it now!)
The other woman:
knows you still exist,
maybe wants you back, too
maybe never wanted you to leave, either
maybe fear, spite and jealousy took you away in the first place
(ever think of that, you angry little brat?)
What if I told now, "the other woman" in this story was a child's own mother?
