You stare into her big baby blues
With the smell of another’s perfume upon your skin
Her ruby red lipstick pressed firmly on your shirt collar
Her fingernail scratches clearly showing at the start of your neck
She dares herself to question you
But you blurt out your apology
Begging for forgiveness for your act of betrayal
She stands in a daze wishing she was anywhere but here
Not looking forward to more of his excuses
Suddenly she finds herself standing her ground
With everything she has
She kicks him out of the house we built together with their our own two hands
Reminding him of all he’s lost
Wondering just how many other women will find themselves where your are now
You know now that you deserve more than anything he could ever offer
So firmly you stand on your own two feet
She Stands Firmly…©
