Such Sweet Sorrow

With passions past, the fever’s broken;
Phone’s unanswered, words unspoken;
Snide asides, accusing hisses-
The sentence served for stolen kisses.

Vinegar eyes from too much wine,
I took and loved what wasn’t mine
Her night late call: “Where have you been?”
The end of the affair’s the greater sin.

Thanks for the comments on my work. This one is dead on right. I always wondered what happened when the end came in this situation. Keep writing. Sara
