Her Other Side of Midnight

As i sit here and ponder
About my love that's gone
She was tall, slim and shapely
Angelic and full of song
 
But then i started to wonder
At certain times she never came home
I used to wait and worry
And the streets i would sometimes roam
 
So many early mornings
She wandered in all tired
The changing of my love
Whom once i craved and desired
 
So many questions i asked
But for her, there was no tell
For it came to break my heart
As i told her to go to hell
 
One wintry stormy night
The truth i needed to know
I followed her in my car
Through winds and driving snow
 
Her car turns into a driveway
In an classy part of town
Where the elite look down upon us
In typical, turned up nose frown
 
I park my car discretely
Hidden from the road
As i make my way to this mansion
Quite an affluent abode
 
I slowly, quietly walk
To find out why she's here
As i approach a bay lit window
Stealthily i begin to peer
 
I see a well dressed man
Slightly older than me
As in the door way stands
My darling so close to me
 
But gone are her innocents
That were by my side
She's now scantily dressed
The truth to why she's lied
 
Her skin on show all over
Black leathers in sporadic view
Her breasts all pert and ample
Eyes of azure blue
 
I stand in total shock
As my love in another mans arms
Sharing her heavenly body
Rejoicing in her charms
 
No more of this i can take
As i turn and take flight
Betrayed by my loved one
Her other side of midnight

Very well written James, a story of betrayal, that starts in command and continues to the very end.

Awesome write, James. I was captured by every line as your story proceeded to reveal the truth that was suspected. Some folks say it's better not to know. I disagree, especially when it comes to this type of betrayal. And you can never turn back the clock to the time when she remained true. I have to give it a 7 for there is no 10 on the scale. Great work, dear Highlander. Love you, Carolyn
