She knew something was up
When he didn’t come for dinner
She even prepared his favorite sauce
He always told her, it was a winner

She tried not to think of the worst
Maybe he got stuck at work
More like he was out, with some floozy
That husband of hers, what a jerk!

She decided to teach him a lesson
In fact, she made it her only mission
When he came in, she smelled perfume
And knew then, it wasn’t a suspicion

He tried to explain where he had been
But she wasn’t buying it, not one bit
Took her saucepan off the stove top
And gave him a great big hit

On top of his head, with a thud
He landed, flat on his back
Maybe next time, he’ll think twice
Before he spends time in another sack

On the bed sheets, a ring of gold
Along with a hand written note

No idea what she should be sorry for
Still, he felt a lump grow, in his throat

The small circle, of polished gold
Cast a shadow, in the shape of a heart

Suddenly, it dawned on him
His life, was falling apart

His state of affairs, no longer relevant
She was gone, without even goodbye

His heart, broken, into shattered pieces
When he realized, it had all been a lie

Lips that pouted, soft and plump
How he longed to hungrily kiss her

Watching quietly, as she lie asleep
He knew in his heart, he would miss her

No chance for him to stay the night
He needed to leave while he could

She always knew he would return
Some things are just understood

One last glance, as he left the room
How he wanted so much to wake her

His heart always caused him such grief
Next time, he promised, he’d take her

His Secret – #NaPoWriMo

Echoing whispers that shatter the night

Watching and waiting, she stands in the light

His voice in the dark, it grows ever stronger

She wonders if she can take this much longer

She strains to listen, hears the sound of her name

From the voice of another, laying the blame

Disbelief comes, as he is walking away

Disavowing that he ever wandered astray

Denying he knows her, his heart is for another

Yet, she is the one he has called his true lover

His lies, so bold, and so easily spoken

His secret, once she, now tattered and broken
