I sit here crying softly
Tears course down my face
But you will never see them
Nor even any trace.
Last night you swore, you loved me.
And you promised that we’re bound.
Today you’re making love to her
But, you swear no pleasures found
Do you think the pleasure matters?
Not a whit to me.
It’s the pain that saturates
The anguish that you’ll never see.
You say you have no choice
We both know that it’s not true
The choice to go or stay
Was always up to you
Please don’t plead your case
There is nothing you can say
That will make me see your point
Or take this agony away
And though your love is tainted
And I know it isn’t right
I’ll still come running to you
When you call tomorrow night.

Love the way you write !
A perfect poem in every way.
That guy should always with you stay,
Stay all night and everyday
And NEVER go astray!
You have talent of every kind,
The kind men like to bump and grind,
The kind they would like even if blind,
The kind that shine out from your mind.
You write poetry so well
On ones like me you cast a spell.
Patricia Gibson-Little, lady,
You write good, and that's no maybe!

ur poems always end on a note that always supriseds me, if a guy were to ever cheat on me i would fead him hes special features if u know what i mean. I canr stand it when i give someone my complete loyalty and they cant do the same to me. If they cant stay monogomus then they cant expect the same from me, and id rather break them than let my heart get broke agian

That is sad. I understand a bit how you feel. I currently am housing a man separated from his wife and hear his laments often. Betrayal hurts. Feelings of hurt and love are expressed well in the poem. The last stanza rings so true. Love is tainted and perhaps wrong but has a power to draw us back to the betrayer if it is strong.
