The Secret

In life things change - Tables eventually turn. Emotions spark up And friendships burn up As relationships break down As chains would rust, But secrets break apart Bonds rooted in trust. It was a fire raging rampant; Fixed only on causing trouble, Not resting till it was triumphant; Hoping to burst his social bubble. In the room, it was the elephant. Fire warming, also burning: working double... Day in day out it reinforced his grind: It was what kept him alive, But to its motives he was blind, His secret crush: 'Reason to why he thrived' His life would cave in If his wife found out. His life was filled with sin, Only that's not what it was about. He said he loved her: He had lied! Vowed to protect his family: At least he'd tried! His secret affair: No longer could he hide, But he vowed to keep it secret: Oh well at least he had tried! She had promised they'd never be caught, But fate and destiny felt otherwise. He left his wife broken and distraught, As he played a hand in his own demise. There's no use holding on to plastic dreams In a world where all isn't as it seems His anachronistic fear of letting go. Was the key to his downfall. Some say a setback is a setup for a comeback, Or that the darkest hour is before dawn, But all this was setting up was a look back, On why to only the dangerous ones he'd be drawn. Friends come and go Like waves hitting the shore. Infinite: Another begins where one ends, Truth of life: Don't trust all friends. This man may be long gone, But the truth and secret live on...
