She says we are friends
But desires so much more
Having a split mind
She prays for my ailing wife
But wishes for her demise

seems to me you see right through, anyhow

I loved this, even as an unseemly close-up of a side of human nature I'd druther not know.

sparse with the words, but what impact!

Nice job on the no-so-nice aspect of the human, and ephemeral condition. *hats off*
