Cheating Husband

As she lit the last candle, She knew it was a ruse. She knew he would be late again. She 
had seen all the clues. The lipstick on the collar, the smell of cheap perfume and wine. She 
knew in hear heart everthing was not fine. The late work nights the cheap excuses, and all 
the sea of lies, divorce was coming she knew it they had given it to many tries. When he did 
come that night he had the nerve to bring her flowers, why did you bring these home to me 
you have been gone for hours. Their for you my dear i want to make this last. no she said i 
cant take them I want you to be in my past.
