Second Life

He holds me tender, Yet I feel nothing, I should feel something, This will be the relationship ender, I stalk in the night, My ungodly deeds hidden, He cannot know, He will not know, What once was a fluke, is now an addiction, The feel of a strangers body beneath my own, The exhilaration of something new, Someone new. I have no need to love these people, Not as I have loved him, As I still love him. He shares my bed, He shares my house, He shares my name, And Yet, he will never share my life, Despite our vows, I feel nothing, Despite our life together, It is empty, There is love, much love, Yet there is nothing else.
