Love Affair Gone
Wrong
How long must she
suffer
for the pain given to
him?
The lapses in her judgment,
when she couldn't
follow through.
She chose the
straight and narrow,
hurting the one who
crossed her way.
How long will he hate
her awful mistake,
make her suffer his
presence to quake?
How did this tragedy happen,
will this hatred he
holds ever end?
Her candor was less
than honest, yet
he was part of the
story, sharing the sin.
How long does she
have to suffer,
with the rope tight round
her neck?
The truth of a short
painful love affair,
was warped, what could
they expect?
She never planned to
fracture him,
only dreamed of a
change in her life,
to hear hearts patter
the beat of youth,
reaching to feel new;
excitement a dance.
How long does she
have to suffer,
for hating the person
she was?
Needing to save her
dwindling sanity,
wanting the family
her heart gently raised.
Could they finally
end this travesty,
two people have been
betrayed?
When she pushed out fear
,told him all,
his gavel went down
with a thwack.
His wrath and hatred
are hell bent,
forcing humiliation,
never giving her say.
Nothing ever should
have started,
he threw temptation
at her each day.
The torture was given
to both of them,
they'll never trust
each other now.
Are they able to get past this,
learn a lesson, live
with each others’ fouls?
He accomplished what he intended,
buckled her down to the floor,
yet what she found out about his
deceitfulness astonished
her;
let the guilt in her, exist
no more.
