The Black and the Red Rose

Scarlet red rose Flower for my wife My pillar of strength Partner for life But the other side of me Is the rose in satin black Part of the man i am The side i sadly lack I can walk in through the door And kiss my loving wife I can say i worked late The other side of my life While my wife's at home I am driving in other towns Picking up the ladies In the back seat, settle them down Showing no remorse This black rose i wear If she ever found out Heart rendering tear Arriving home usually late My loving wife in anxious wait Met with a kiss, i internally cry To do this to her, i ask myself Why? http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/life.php
