Betrayal

I should not have looked. Can you imagine the courage it took? I knew you had been acting strange. Something between us had somehow changed. You used to kiss me on the cheek. While I undressed you took a peek. Now you are late home from work. To bed last, out of the door first. I did not meen to peek. I was never one to sneak. Gathering washing I felt a package. In the inside pocket of your work jacket. Sure enough I could not resist. I must not let nagging thoughts persist. A charming bracelet with a loving note. "My love, my sweet, my little dote." Perhaps I should not have looked. Still he must be brought to book. He took a vow with me to stay. Adios, goodbye, be on your way!
