Love Rebounded Part 2
They devour each other
Their excuse for infidelity: familiarity
How can it be wrong?
Both taken, both taking
Sickly forbidden fruit
Followed by titanic guilt
So much wrong
Damage...done
She wants to know he loves her still
He insists she leave her new lover
‘But that will destroy him’
‘Oh great, destroy me but not him!’
‘Don’t worry babe, just give me a while. I will break it to him gently’
What has he’s opened?
Pandora time
She can’t stay
Sneaks off like a thief
With a slice of his heart
Back to the new man
She slips in bed
An arm wraps around her
Rigid with guilt
Head chock full
Sleep wont come
Across town about to doze
He receives another text
‘I cant sleep babes, thinking of you
I wish you were here instead of him
Tonight was like old time, felt so right
Let’s do it again...soon
I love you and always will
Sweet dream my love’
Anxiety floods his chest
‘****!
She’s ****ing with my head
In my old bed, with another man
Wishing she was with me instead?
What the fu...?’
He wants her desperately
But can't stop thinking about...
Her with him having sex in his bed
A light bulb ignites
He can’t go backwards
Needs to forge on
So shoots her a text
‘I had the best time, it was a lot of fun
But, been there, done that
Got the t-shirt and a scar
Let’s pretend this never happened
Then I won’t have to deal with the fact that…
My baby's mammas a cheating whore
You made your bed
With your new man
Lay in it’
