Just a Friend Virus

take care against this wicked infection 
a cracked window loses love protection 
innocent texting becomes a front door 
ugly lies collect into a deceit store 

my ignorance assimilates naive 
your every breath as easy as deceive 
our marriage day memories now bleed out 
virtue meets a time of our love blackout 
	
a doorbell rings my disillusionment 
making “just a friend” an illusionist 
my trust is destroyed in a simple text 
I end up very confused and perplexed 

today I found him in my own front door 
making my unfaithful wife a cheap whore

I could feel you seething throughout this. Loved the rhyme scheme and word choices, they all added to the general tone. Don't listen to Judy, though, I say punch him

WoW Hope that didn't really happen. The anger here is palpable. Well done. Very descriptive and lots of emotion. God Bless and a 7 from me. JB ps Don't bruise your knuckles on a man like that. He'll get his and he probably won't be able to cure it either.
