Unfaithful

big dark clouds hovered over my tiny house,
it paled to the storm within due to an unfaithful spouse.

Indeed Alexis, a wonderful expressive couplet, a home will implode if structure loses its integrity, even if the house is left standing, cheers David

Dear Alexis, no greater pain to endure then the pain of unfaithfulness. Once the trust has been breached it is hard to trust again. What a ink deep emotion penned here. Thank you for bearing your heart.

Yikes! Suggest widening the drainage pipe, quite effective during any deluge. Metaphorically, neatly wrapped, Alexis! Peace always my friend, Aloha!
