On the Brink

She sneaks next door when he's asleep, forgetting the vows she promised to keep. She's young and pretty, on overdrive, the guy next door, he's so alive. The one at home, he's a good guy, her parents love him, and cringe at her lies. She needs more than he can give, needs the passion just to live. So now she's in her lover's arms, how can something so good cause so much harm? And all we can do is hold our breath, we know her marriage's on the brink of death. Oh, lust-driven youth, we remember it well, and know the destruction it often foretells. Remorse is a burden that weighs down a soul, and we wish we could save her from this torturous hole.
