Bitter Kiss
The bitter kiss
Forgive me please ahead of time
But I must write just one more rhyme
I gave my husband my whole heart and left for just awhile
But he was set on fantasy of a 20 something’s smile
Thus he left behind integrity, to surf the internet beast
And found a slew of young beauty’s upon which his eyes could feast
Then after it was over, satisfied, he walked away
Not thinking for a moment, the price we’d both have to pay
Of bringing forth rejection to his wife whose heart is true
And creating an atmosphere for wounds and scars to brew
Now humiliation is her covering as she desperately tries to heal
Yet her thoughts turn deeply inward to the fact that she IS real
She can’t compete with fantasies of boob and butt and thigh
Particularly as she is 53 and they are only 18 to 25
How do I heal, she asks herself, and what can I do about this?
She cries and prays and cries some more and then greets him with a kiss
