Cheated

Last night

I shared a bed

With a man

Who was not you

And despite

My reasoning

Or lack there of

I can’t think of any excuse



Cause’

I acted on impulse

And I acted on desperation

And in the morning

I turned to face

Someone who wasn’t you



I keep clutching

At these straws

Trying to find a

Way to control

All of this wayward

Emptiness.



Cause my destructive

Little ways

They cannot substitute

The pain

They are just little fixes

Something to fill a space
