Cheating for You- His Story
I know you are lonely,
I see you twisting slowly
in that ill wind
unable really to resist
his soft words.
I see how you look at him
the times you've disappeared,
your time unaccounted for.
I see it in your
new makeup
and dress
in the extra care
you take in the mirror.
I see changes in you
and know they
do not come from me.
I see her
because she is convenient
and asks little or nothing from me.
The sex is rough,
wild at times
more about release
than tenderness.
I know you're cheating
and worse
know
I can't soften now;
the anger blocks
the things you need.
So I perch here
on this abyss
going
no where
compass-less
