We Tried

We tried like hell to make it work!
                                                 Time and distance
                                                  caused us to hurt.

                                                 Love started to fade 
                                          because of the need to get laid.
                                      Lust and temptation caused mistrust.
                               Eventually,we opened the door,and let someone in.
                                      Lonely and horny,we committed a sin!

                                      The marriage started to slide down hill.
                                            Love for another we started to feel.
                                 They say time apart makes the heart grow fonder. 
                                              In this case it pushed us under!

                                              We began to push and shove.
                                      Who was the blame for the loss of love?
                                         The thing to do was pack and get out.
                                          Who cheated first we both had doubt?
