HIGH INFIDELITY

I’m so convinced you’re cheating
Since you’re always retreating
From the love you once made
With only me,
Which I believed
Would last and relieve
Me for all eternity;
Now it’s only burning me.
My heart is overheating,
Inner voices are repeating:
What do you so tenderly
See in her but not in me?
And why transfer
Our love to HER?
I no longer receive
Much of gifted anything,
Paid for or rent-free.
I guess it was all meant,
Spent and then went
To only your mystery she.
You need to know
This tortures me,
So cut the cord,
Sew no discord;
Just go to your whore!
But when you leave,
I beg on my knees,
There comes a day,
I hope and pray,
You’ll hear and agree
With my plaintive pleas.
And then, duly forgiven,
If I’m still livin’,
Simply return to the home
You own to love only me.
Forever we’ll cleave
And you promise
You never will leave,
Shall stick till the end
And won’t upend
Me ever again.
Thank you, my lover,
No longer my friend.
