The man in the background

About a toxic relationship that ends. Not personal

The man in the background
 
The man in the background is constantly on my mind
The man in the background is present but distant.
Strong and powerful he fulfils me with frills.
The thrills are filled with ills but still we remain.
Exclusive to me but private to others.
We live in a world just made for two.
Secrets and scars surround the mystery.
We walk a fine line of existence because heartbreak is smeared with promiscuity.
Away for days has he takes trips for wins and gains.
His ego is brought and fraught with torture.
Persist with me let foreign as I lay with him.
Promises are made and promises are dismayed.
Trust is played like a game, lies are never far away.
This man in the background can not exist.
For the man in the background is a myth.
For the man in the background must be dismissed.
For the man in the background is disposable like mist.
For a man in the background can never make the foreground.
As he makes himself permanently in the background.

For women in loveless relationships must find a way out.
