The Cheat
An explosion of thought
the vision of her life is reflected back at me
one Thursday night when she decided to try someone new
when he decided he could get away with it
and she knew she wouldn't
drunk and horny
frustrated with jealous partners
they succumbed to their desires
fumbling around in the dark
an old flame now burning bright
not a care in the world except for pleasure
theirs
an angry man keeps calling
incessant ringing
Even when caught
they continue with spite
screwing and sucking their physical lust
knowing this may be the only time
or perhaps a new beginning
doesn't matter now
they sleep until dawn
and awake to weirdness
she gathers her morals and leaves
hung over
confused
justified
