The Affair
I want to shut him
Out of my heart
But when he's around
My heart skips a beat
My breath catches
In my throat
When I hear his voice
And for a moment
The world fades around us.
We're not good for
Each other, I know
I told him so a long time ago
But I can't seem to push him away
Though I know
He's not here to stay.
He calls, he texts,
I answer my phone
Though I wish he could
Just leave me alone.
Sometimes we end up
Together in bed
And a small voice whispers
In my head
This isn't right.
I know it isn't
And I don't care
For now it only matters
That he is here.
And when we're done
He goes back to his wife
And I, to my husband.
I hate this double life.
