You walked all over me
in your rush to fame
and I put up a brave face
playing an ace game.
I supported all that you did
image projections and fake acts.
Inside the bags of my mind
lay safe all your cats.
We got rave reviews
with my mask of the mature wife
The woman behind the man’s success
was to cry silently all her life.
Redirecting the inner strength
took me to paths unknown
where my talent was acknowledged
and only my star shone.
Why could you not be the man
behind the woman, with some lag?
Multiple masks kept dropping off
as the cats ran out of the bag.
