I Need To Hear It From You

How long have you shared your secret lover with the world the one you kept from my ears did you decide to move on last night while we made love or was it this morning when I still had reason to believe in you perhaps it was Sunday as I cleaned the rooms while you walked the dog how long have I been your excuse to leave early where in the world did you promise to travel to as I made your favorite bread I need to hear it from you how a life time spent by my side has lost its meaning to you what covenants were made as you broke all of your covenants made to me you will never know the safety of my kiss again IRISH

Interesting question but in this poem i tried to write as i felt a women would feel learning that her partner had cheated on her or was about to leave, etc. Injecting issues lie making favorite bread, cleaning rooms, etc anchored the feeling to something more meaningful and 'normal' for any couple, hence the violation of trust becomes more significant and exactly why HE will never now the safety of her kiss again.
