A wandering eye
Begins everything
Creates the
Despair
Emails, texts, phone calls
Find their way in your day
Go and ruin your family
How can you look me in the eye?
I know what you're doing
“Just fishing,” or
Kissing your mistress
Lipstick stains on your uniform
Mom may be oblivious
Not me
Over and over again
Pork and beans for dinner, your favorite,
but it's
Quiet, you're
Reminiscing about the quickie you had
in your car after lunch
Stop
Tearing this family apart
Underneath all the sadness,
Vengeance and anger rises in me
Wow
Xilhirating, isn't it? Losing
Your family. Destroying the perfect image
of happiness
Zero regret. I hope you're happy.
