The Cheater That He Is

Passion made its case 
No time for contemplation 
Full steam ahead, that new infatuation 

Two bodies blended sweetly
But the body tricks the mind 
Somewhere along a heart was left behind 

But he was so alluring 
Like magnets, his brown eyes 
And a smile that could hide a million lies 

And in that cheaters bottle 
Was the antidote to guilt  
So numb until the morning it was spilled 

When the sun illuminated 
The unfaithful things he did
He finally caught a glimpse of what he is

I'm visualizing the film with the cheater's bottle and the antidote to guilt...Wow! Strongly expressive, though very simply exposed with so plain words! And that rhythm! Great work indeed...:) Hanitra

Ah, lover boy being true to form, too bad we get snared and then find out.
