Painful Love Affair

PAINFUL LOVE AFFAIR

I love you, my love
I don't know why?
You are working hard,
I love you from nine to five
Soon will clock out
Going to our separate ways
To a life, I was forced at hand 

Thanks for the attention,
My husband does not give.
Simple kisses with full affection
A love affair 
No more teasing, no more flirting
Sneaking and releasing our lust and tension
Accidently caring.
We see everyone just staring.
Two lives now were torn

I love the things we talk about
Until that one day,
Which is now, 
I have to say goodbye
Writing you a last love letter
Explaining the reason why?
No one can make this better
All I can do about this is cry

You said your wife was in doubt
My husband after soon found out
At that moment, I felt the need to die
In my face, he did more than shout.
Now I sit ---
Far away where I can't say hi
It's your baby, with no doubt.
The one thing my husband wants to deny
This love affair I can never talk about
Dead and gone

A personal and up close look into the private life of the author. A well structured poem with a emotional release launching it into our hearts. Emile.

Very painful indeed but love is like food. We are all hungry for it. If life becomes empty we may grab anything that comes in our way. It's a wonderful poem I'd share with friends. Words are stronger than anything else and you prove it

A love affair that reflects a million others similar to it. A lesson to all husbands/wives ... neglect is a red light....being taken for-granted is a red light. Love and emotions need nurturing otherwise.....!! A most enjoyable read Skat...or may I say, Irma?!:) // paul

...if this is true, your story is sad, and painful as your title says. im sure you know this, when someone already has a relationship, but you don't share that much of a strong bond with them like you used too, and you run into another who you just fell in love with, without planning on it.theres another word for it, but im just not sure what you would call it.so what im trying so hard to say, which i hope you know, Irma.you aren't a bad person. -Always&Forever Lynette
