Unfaithful (Thursday, 11 December 2014)

By BetaWolfinVA

truth, injurious
to my mind, is that i have 
been unfaithful to 
the same woman for eighteen 
years, some times marrying them
.
not desireous
of children she wants someone 
to care for her only
ne'er having had childhood of
her own, her moms caretaker 
.
saying she did not hate me 
but could not restart friendship
.
she asked why i did not come 
to the wake for her mother
.
saying i could not
take seeing her for the first 
time nigh on ten years
that i could not hurt my wife 
any more than asking had
.
she stopped stalking me
blocked from stalking her twitter
how many more years
is it kindness or cruelty
rejecting my devotion
.
i have betrayed my 
lady of red-raven hair
the name behind my 
daughters in nightly mantra
how much longer can i live
.
what a drag it is to not
truly "love the one you're with"

    maybe the one that burns the brightest in your heart will actually choose children maybe the one that burns the brightest in your heart will actually choose you and give up on the idea of children maybe you will love the one that is helping you raise your child, and be able to love her with the passion that she deserves maybe the one you love will finally love you back again and he will stop pinning away over a woman that keeps shoving him out of her life and dragging him back in maybe mommie and daddy will stop crying when they think no one else can see Scholar
