This one is charged with truth, a very sad picture also. Sometimes things done in haste hurt a lot of innocent people.

A clever write Susan, but I find it a little disturbing. Yes, he created the lies to get what he wanted, yet, she seems to be debasing herself even more by doing what she has done. She is also publicly humiliating the other woman involved, their relationship not specified in the poem, but perhaps a loving wife with children or course in her pain why would she care.

In today's day and age with technology it's much easier to get caught. Still people will continue to do what they have always done.

Oh yes, there is no expectation of privacy online by many. To expect it for questionable activities would be foolish. Some say it's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission. And as always, some just don't care. Thanks for reading and your comments. Always very though provoking.

Love your poem. Good to see she had the strength to write the note. Hope it sustains to keep her from going back.

Thank you, rob! In my mind, that was the end for her. Getting even is not all that great either but in this case age and impulse have a lot to learn yet. You're thoughtfulness is a very nice quality. Thanks again!
