secrets are golden
like the ring on her finger
which can't be seen
between 9 and 5
she comes home kisses her man
he has no idea she has no guilt
how is it so easy to destroy someone
they make love that night while the kids are in bed
while the other man is racing in her head
she has no idea why but she loves the attention
one hard-on, one heart break
all in a days work she is pleased
both morning and night until the day
all is recognized
she sits alone used and divorced
and now nobody to love nobody to hold
she buries her head with one single shot
all is lost and now forgot

This poem portrays a good moral lesson in life...If you don't cherish what you have you'll lose it. Adultery has become so common in this day and age, but it's still wrong and I like that you acknowledge that by showing where this woman ended up. I definitely appreciate the message of this poem.
Thank you for your entry.
