As he lay there sleeping in cool satin sheets embracing I watch weeping, take note and listen , could have been Shakespeare As he rolled to face me, moaned and muttered endearing words every woman in love would have loved and cherished to hear Holding my lips tightly, glean ,withholding for safekeeping Murmurs in the darkness sweet nothings he thought was her ears A child’s smile disappeared to sounds of mild snores and breathing fire brewed a flush of red kept a calm look and dried my tears 1/18/2017

What an expressive and controlled delivery as you write about such a delicately revealing painful situation! I wonder what her next move would be!! Hugs // paul
