Uncovering the Truth

As she scanned through his phone 

Her heart breaking a little more

with each read text.

With all the late nights

And buisiness trips 

She knew it was all a trick.

And it made her sick.

 

She charged into their room

She threw the suitcase at him

During one of her hissy fits.

She screamed at him

"You'll hear from my lawyer 

In a bit."

 

She heard her three kids

Coming down the stairs.

"What's wrong Mommy?"

Said the youngest.

Seeing his Daddy pack his suitcase.

"Daddy and I are taking 

A permanent break."
