Fiction

You are the reason for my emotional strength, You’re the reason I’m strong, Because of the things that you did behind me, Those things were emotionally wrong, Like dressing up beautiful to meet this man, Spending hours with him through the day, Then texting him when he wasn’t there, Just to see if he was okay, Or laughing off any concerns I brought up, And then telling me those little white lies, Were little white lies of you both just being friends, And you saying this straight to my eyes, You are the reason I’m now tough and alert, Building this wall to hide what I do, But behind this wall of emotional strength, Is my heart that still dreams about you.

Hello Lewis, my husband that oassed away cheated on me. It hurts ... I never knew why he cheated and i never will. it takes time to trust and when I meet the right person..my inner voice will tell me to trust. it has to feel right.. have a nice day my friend.

Wonderful poem, Lewis about how sad it is to be in relationships that are not true.

thank you Line, my past has, at times, lit up my suspicions, but so far that's all. I'd hate to be cheated on.
