Your poem tells a complex story that makes my heart ache. If I have to wonder if he/she is being faithful, maybe look at myself and see what I am doing to make my marriage stronger.

An emotional poem that makes one look to oneself. Thank you, Brett. Great job!

I love the fact that this is written in the reverse order of what sad love refrains are normally written in, excellently and cleverly done Brett, this is a great turn up for the books, articulate and image laden, I really enjoyed this, I'm the other man, my friend, well done, Blessings, Roy,

Hi Brett, regardless of which scheme you have used for these lyrics it is the end result that matters, and in my eyes those end results are good, consistent use of the final line holds it all together beautifully.

This work has reached the exceptional level

A tweak or to to get it to music and I can just hear Randy Travis singing this into my ears.
It sounds so country so good it would be a an instant hit

Who is the horse, Brett? The husband who left her crying as in horse's ass? The other man who soothes her wounded heart, off and on, for ten years, making him her 'trick'-pony. Or the woman who seems to like the corral and keeps returning only to stampede back to the other man?

Great story/lyrics.

Great job with your song lyrics, Brett. I like the repetition of I'm the other man. I only hope she realizes that he is the better man. Sometimes even though they know he is better, they won't leave the sorry one they are with. 8-)

It seems like she might end up with the other man, since the one she has is making her miserable. Good song lyrics and poem.

Hi Brett,

I like these lyrics too. You're always so great at writing them. It's a neat story. The gal's got to pick and choose which man she really wants instead of playing with two. LOL

Different view point . Good. The other man, friend, sounding board, comforter, the one who has loved her all along. She made a choice long ago and is so unhappy. perhaps she will leave him and make a fresh start with someone who cares. Wedding rings do not make a marriage.

In verse five, did you mean to use the verb don't? Should it read "It doesn't matter" and not "It don't matter". You could leave this verse out all together as you give us the information in the next verse.

Good use of repeating "I'm the other man" indicating you love her.
