Painful Love Affair

PAINFUL LOVE AFFAIR I love you, my love I don't know why? You are working hard, I love you from nine to five Soon will clock out Going to our separate ways To a life, I was forced at hand Thanks for the attention, My husband does not give. Simple kisses with full affection A love affair No more teasing, no more flirting Sneaking and releasing our lust and tension Accidently caring. We see everyone just staring. Two lives now were torn I love the things we talk about Until that one day, Which is now, I have to say goodbye Writing you a last love letter Explaining the reason why? No one can make this better All I can do about this is cry You said your wife was in doubt My husband after soon found out At that moment, I felt the need to die In my face, he did more than shout. Now I sit --- Far away where I can't say hi It's your baby, with no doubt. The one thing my husband wants to deny This love affair I can never talk about Dead and gone SKAT POETRY 2-24-10

A personal and up close look into the private life of the author. A well structured poem with a emotional release launching it into our hearts. Emile.

Very painful indeed but love is like food. We are all hungry for it. If life becomes empty we may grab anything that comes in our way. It's a wonderful poem I'd share with friends. Words are stronger than anything else and you prove it

A love affair that reflects a million others similar to it. A lesson to all husbands/wives ... neglect is a red light....being taken for-granted is a red light. Love and emotions need nurturing otherwise.....!! A most enjoyable read Skat...or may I say, Irma?!:) // paul

what can I say?.. what word can I use to qualify this?.. this is so true and its a poem that fit into everyday deed to the world. I understood the story and message you are passing... that makes it extremely great. and I feel good to have you as a friend. -gentlepen.

SKAT What a very powerful and intense write. Its sad this is a true write that goes on too many times and destroys lots of lives. Nicely written. Thanks for the great comment on my Lying Sleeze poem.

Naughty Girlfriend. I think when a marriage is dull we need to spice it up with a love affair. I have a side dish and it's good. put it this way you can't eat smash potato everyday you need some meant or mixed veg. :-) love your poems SKAT

...if this is true, your story is sad, and painful as your title says. im sure you know this, when someone already has a relationship, but you don't share that much of a strong bond with them like you used too, and you run into another who you just fell in love with, without planning on it.theres another word for it, but im just not sure what you would call it.so what im trying so hard to say, which i hope you know, Irma.you aren't a bad person. -Always&Forever Lynette
