Lurking To Lure

A successful man with a beautiful wife, Three great kids, loves God and his life, Goes into work every single day, Loyal to his beliefs and makes an extraordinary pay, He married real young, did the right thing, A good looking man, always wearing his wedding ring, But a woman in the office next door Has been working late too and is looking to score, She admires his rarity and is attracted to his charm, Lately she has been asking for help on her assignments, what’s the harm? They have become friends and her luring begins, This man doesn’t realize she has begun to infringe, He has opened a door to the wrong kind, While he's speaking his heart, she’s picking his mind, Now instead of sharing his tension with his lovely mate, He can’t wait to get to work and talk to her until late, His wife can tell there’s been a shift in their communication, She asks him if everything is alright with a slight hesitation, But he quickly snaps back that he’s fine and just tired, This happens all week and fights begin to transpire, He begins to tell his venomous new pal, She comforts him sweetly, she’s quite the gal, Weeks later he comes to work stressed and depressed, It happens to be the night she is wearing a silky black dress, After going over a case accompanied with a few glasses of red wine, Their relationship spirals into whats no longer benign, In one evening everything this man has worked so hard for, Vanishes, as his wife shows up with dinner and opens his office door.
