Breaking Up Or Making Up

When we got married you said I was the only one
But you disappear for days and leave me with our son
Go off with your mates and leave me high and dry
I’ve since heard subtle rumours it’s not just ‘you and I’
Now you hide your mobile phone and even I can’t call
I thought our life was perfect – am I heading for a fall	
I share my life with you; I believed we were in clover
If you’re cheating on me now I’m telling you ITS OVER

You are and will always be my number one 
Marrying you was the greatest thing I've ever done
I refuse to become a victim of the rumour mill 
Evil tongues have always gossiped and always will
All my workforce with you will completely agree 
They hate my new mobile telephone policy 
But that ban on their use remains in place 
Even my darling if it is your wrath I must face
Work widowed you are, cheated upon you are not.
This crisis will soon be over and I'm taking you somewhere hot.

Oh my darling thank you, I was really starting to worry
I know I shouldn’t doubt you but my mind is in a flurry
Looking after the baby all day can be quite a strain
If he’s upset and crying all day it really is a drain
We really need to make sure we have some time for us
But you are always working and I hate to make a fuss
It makes me feel so guilty you need to take a break
If you leave work early then Patrick won’t be awake
I’ll be ready waiting for you with a kiss and open arms 
You will find me in the bedroom I’ll surrender to your charms

You are my whole world and the centre of all I try to do
I work to provide for my family but from the start you knew
When you became my wife before God we made our vows
Though I think he'll understand we may have our tiffs and rows
But he nor you should forgive me if ever I betray 
To hear you ever say those words would be too high a price to pay
So I'll see you later and believe me tonight I'll be on time 
Because I've got a hot date with you, you’re forever mine.

Jadazzle What a truthful, powerful, honest and sincere write. Marriage is not always good and happy. But compromise, strength and love will see you through. Thank you for the nice comment on my See The Truth poem.

This is a beautifully written co-write, Jan and Darren. Husbands and wives stick together through the good times and the bad. I would say more but I'm mourning the loss of a dear friend now. Please forgive my brief comment. Love to both of you, Carolyn

I'm willing if Darren is - he doesn't need any encouragement Tim LOL. He's the best cyber husband any woman could have I am truly lucky I found him before anyone else snapped him up! Guess when you work together so closely you can't help develop such a strong friendship - we are all very lucky to have found wonderful people to collaborate with Tim :) :-) Hugs as ever Jan xxxx
