A story of infidelity, the lies told to support it & the aftermath for all concerned. |
Honesty was our motto I didn't know it wasn't mandatory Thinking we had total faith True for the short, but not the long story It's hard for someone who's honest To see the one you love obviously lie Stopping to think before an answer Eternity passing in the blink of an eye Now doubt is cast over sunshine Making a beautiful day turn so bleak Without proof, I'm called insecure And no hope of finding the answers I seek If I was a betting man I'd put it all on her deceit Then my mind recoils at the possibility That my beautiful wife is a cheat After all these years together Subtle changes make us oceans apart As I question my own sanity Now I'm the owner of a broken heart “You snore and you're not nice to sleep with” All this criticism won't quell my doubt The constant niggle is driving me crazy And won't end until the truth comes out My fear of not reading to my kids This family is all I know Then comes the inevitable speech...via text That her love for me had died long ago Does anyone leave before plan B Before the plans of a couple fall flat “Just good friends” while we were still together Now it's over...so much more than that Too distraught to feel jealousy's sting Now he tucks in my kids, instead of me Will he finish our bedtime story? And see things with them I won't see? I cry a lot, and often for no reason Always alone...because of their concerned looks It's only lawyers who celebrate divorce There's never enough broken hearts on their books To forget one man in the arms of another Life can be so unfair Why do cheaters always look so happy? Whilst I live life with such despair |
