An Affair With My Ex

Having an affair with my ex Reminds me that he was mine before Before he loved me so much and even After I have not ceased to want him As long as he wants me Our feelings are like the feelings of Two disobedient children on a play ground The steamy feeling of attraction still exists When we see each other, its an affair Which is like a baking velvet womb and A churning wind in the desert That holds me like a plague It’s a ready atomic bomb about to Wipe a whole country out Its scented with guilty pleasure That drives one to an emotional jail and Brings all clear thinking to a stand still Its inception and subsistence costs a lot Some shillings in the bank And can lead to bankruptcy Bound to end in disaster when we can’t stay We stay exes and agree to keep the hidden longing And a bitter secret stirring wildly In a deep sea of emotions

hey, you can't compare a relationship with eating cake, thanks for your comment but what i know is some times people who loved each other reunite and still dont work out...thats it though i think you did not understand the poem well.
