Once there was a ring
On her pale, white finger
Then, the ring symbolized nothing
But heartache for her
A piece of jewelry to you
You get online
To meet somebody new
Because it just got too boring with her
Two weeks before Valentine's Day
You say good-bye
I had no clue
Until February 14
When you told me you were living with someone else
Two years went by
Us kids knowing nothing
Your wife knowing everything
An affair started by you
A man stolen from his wife
By a full knowing woman
And a heartbreak that would never mend
For your own daughter
But let you know this one thing
I'm not going to another wedding

that is absoulty heart breaking. having single parents that do this kind of shit is something luckily I can not relate personally to. -

I know the whole story and fully understand where you're coming from. You would think if you're with someone, you would let them know that it's noo longer working out. Not shop for someone else and then kick that person to the curb once you find that other someone. All I can say it may come back to haunt him in the end in many more ways than one and I will leave it at that. Good luck in the contest.
