You brought down your unfaithful man.
"Luv Guv," now your ex,
was wild about sex.
One staffer was his greatest fan.

A text meant for her went to you!

Bentley, get off the ground!
I smiled because I am shopping child-free.
In charge of no one except myself.
The only Bentley I have known is a dog.
This Bentley is a small boy, around six years old.
He has brown hair and dancing eyes.
He scrambles from the floor and tips the cart.
His mother yells “BENTLEY!”
I smile, knowing that someday...
