Pearls Pearls Pearls

Reflected in pearls your thoughts reveal
He wooed you to his side with such conceit
Decisions made in haste you can’t conceal
So blinded by his charm and false deceit.

Upon a pedestal you were his queen
Those early days, you thought his love was true
But in the background, kept from you unseen
His cheating ways he covered up from you.

With realisation of his sinful way
You set the trap, and watched with great delight
For your raw heartache he would surely pay
The proof was yours, he’d never win this fight.

They say there’s nothing like a woman scorned
He left with just the shirt upon his back
While in his pearls, you’ll always be adorned
His wealth ensures there’s nothing you will lack

So, heed my story, all you wealthy men
Ensure your pearls are given with pure love
Do not deceive your woman, or you’ll find
You may end up just like the man above.

Christine, an unfortunate situation well stated. As the saying goes, "Hell hath no fury like a women scorned" While revenge may appease the hurt, the damage to trust shall remain! My best to you moving forward.

Hi Mark Thanks for your review and yes, I suppose that saying is still true. This is pure fiction, but I do have a lovely pearl from my husband for our 30th WA. We have just celebrated our 50th so no problems here. Cheers Chris
