A stolen kiss is as the stolen time
Passing us by
While your wife is at work &
The kids at home, I have you on borrowed time
On the bluffs behind your house
I feel exuberant with you in my arms
Yet I hate myself for the betrayal
I feel insignificant as a mouse
I look deep into your green-brown eyes
Stealing another kiss, hating myself
Loving you is forbidden
But my heart knows no lies
How to carry this heavy burden, this secret?
I want the whole world to know of our love
But I'm filled with shame, for you're not free
To love anyone but her; you're just not free, Babe
The girls and boys I love dearly, as I do your wife
I feel dirty, guilty, when I think of them
I feel as if I've betrayed them, although they
Don't know it. But you're my very life
This affair isn't of the usual kind
No lovemaking or rendevous
Just two stolen kisses, many glances
And only a bit of borrowed time

It's such a pain in each single line
''Yet I hate myself for the betrayal''
"How to carry this heavy burden, this secret?''
Those my favorite lines.
I know exactly what does it mean.
Good job for the poem

Yep yep. Not only carrying my love secretly(ish), but having to worry about hurting dear friends of mine...yeesh! It hurts.
Thank you,

This is a very sad story which I can relate to. This has happened to me so I know how you feel. The only good thing that came out of it was that I lost loads of weight and also knew what it was like to be really in love. But it had to end eventually. Well written.

So you know how rough it is, huh? I've been in love with this man since I was 15...come April 18th, that's 10 years. Actually, it was August when I met him & my heart fell, that year. I try to bury my thoughts of him down deep, so I'll quit thinking of him - but you already know how well that works. If he didn't treat me as well as he does, it'd be a whole lot easier to fall out of love with him, but, what can I say? He loves me too. I think I'll always be partly in love with him (seeing as he's my very first love). What makes it worse is I adore his family! His wife is awesome!!! I feel like dirt when I think of how this would affect her - & their kids, who I adore. Anyway, thank you!

this is realy good sis, but perhaps you should move on to bigger, better things. I know you will always have a place for him in your heart,but you need someone who will be there for you and care for Dewey just as much! Love ya! Great write and heartfelt. keep up the good work

Of course it's heartfelt, ding dong!
I know I need to "move on". But I need another man to transfer my love to in order to do so. I've tried getting over him...how do you think Dewey got here?! Thank you, though, for taking the time to leave your thoughts. He is & always will be my first true love; you're right. He does care for us as much as I care for him...he just can't show it.
Numb Nugget! I love you, too.

Pain
is given and recieved. You get back what you give out and you have already felt so much pain. I'm sorry, but this is not the direction you should be going and it could cost you everything! I speek only from my experence, but you know or you would not feel this way. The feelings of love won't be as strong as those of betrail that will be felt by the wife here! That family and those kids will suffer! Think it over and you will understand. Love is not fair, but if yours is that strong tell him to end it with her before this goes any farther! Good luck, Uncle Shaker -

I know. I've tried so hard to fall for someone else, but my heart is stubborn! That's how Dewey got here...trying to fall for another. I know that, too, about how they'd feel if they ever found out. But we're not gonna let them. & I'm putting a stop to the physical part, although there's not much to stop. I'm keeping his friendship. He has helped me many times. I think I'll always love him. Have since I was 15 & now I'm 24. He knows of my feelings & loves me too, but has already chosen to stay with her. I can't blame him for it - she has 2 girls & they just had a baby who is now 1 year old. I wish he would end it with her, sometimes, though. I am praying God sends me another man just like my Love, with two exceptions: nonsmoker & SINGLE!!!! I understand. Believe me, I do. I just wish the right thing weren't so heartrending.
Thank you,
~Your Loving Niece
