The Other Woman

I am the underwear you rarely wash
but stuff behind the door.

The rest you clean
from day to day,
but I remain, still squashed
between the empty plates and clothes, unseen
for days until you finally decide
to pick all the rubbish from the floor.

Very nice write here. So much said in only 46 words, and I too, loved the metaphor. Keep writing Sherrilyn!

Wow ... I'm sitting here open-mouthed at the metaphor and the implications. Great imagery, great imagination, great great great. Thank you for this! And yeah, it is like you want to spit in someone's face! :)
