Cheating

By Derelict Dream

Help me please,
Don't Turn Away,
I'm on my knees,
I won't again Stray...

These tears sting like bees.
And I did not mean to betray,
So listen to me and my pleas,
Before you turn and go today...

You both had many beauties,
And qualities on display,
But you never showed me truly,
That your love for me would stay.

We never shared our cooties,
--As Children often say;
We didn't hold hands at the movies,
Or while walking through the day.

What we had wasn't love but duties,
And I couldn't live that way.
So I told her I would dump you, Julie
But couldn't do so even though I wanted Shae.

    I forgot to mention that the names were changed to protect the innocent, and to complete the rhyming scheme... This was a painful lesson to learn, and I am glad I learned it early in life... (Before age 16)

    hmmm. well, cheating is rough- means that you're putting one above the other, and you end up hurting both. don't cheat. why not have open relationships? hard to do, but then you get what you want and are honest.

    "why not have open relationships" Its much easier to have no relationships at all......Trust me, I'm an expert at it.......6 years and going strong
