I (Never) Cheated

Folder: 
2014

Far too often, despite lovers' bind

their heart assumes the worst in you

Recalling their own shadowy mind

projecting the smear campaign as truth

 

My actions speak without regrettable intent

despite my mind not fearing a tiff

I bathe in justice despite the lament

and patch the unnecessary rift

 

With words of resolve and assurance,

amid knowledgeable concern, yet no defiance

I offered currency of concurrence

evoking currents of pulsing reliance

 

Fully aware of our once lively

but over time, more muted communication

Understanding my words need distillery

Purification for enhanced reverberation

 

Over time, you mastered a lifeless pain in your eyes

ocular razors channeling messages to frayed tongue

A weighty trust decaying in a balance of lies

today, spirit bound by another loved one

Your reserve, disconnect is documented

either way, the connection remains frayed

but wait..

 

...self-honesty emerges in solitary

monumentally-delayed

 

You made the right call.

 

I had it all wrong..

I never cheated on your body

heart, soul, or passions

but I cheated on your love

and didn't know 'til you revoked the rations

Very well written and wrly humourus this poem. I just loved your creation here. I hope there was a good resolution for you and your partner after the slander campaign; it's awful isn't it when your loved one goes on and on and losses all sense of the situation. Very entertaining poem.
