Betrayal.

The guy with the flowers and the milk tray
So sorry, she’s having an affair
With me
I’m your friend too
Strange the things we do
Just sort of happened
You would understand if it wasn’t you
We should end it, walk away
Start another day
We wont
Not till all the cards are played
We know the end
The hurt, the betrayal
The words they say
You, they hate the most
Now the ghost
Doors are closed 
Family walk away
Strange, the marriage stronger than ever now
I did that
Self congratulations as I walk away
Yet I don't see the gratitude coming my way.

Wow! So very emotional and powerful the struggles. Nicely done

This is a strong dose of honest observation. I’ve been inside this puzzle, seeing it from a number of different directions, at different times in my life . . . & I can assure you, you NAILED IT! There are so many truths, I can’t name them all. In particular, I’ve been a friend to dozens of married men thru-out my life (with or without sex) & my involvement has helped the guy come alive, which in turn has helped his marriage come alive. But of course, I’ll always be the hated b***h & I accept that. Nobody wants to think their marriage needs that kind of help (not talking about sex now). This is so damn good, I wish I could put my own experiences in words the way you put my experiences in words! *smile* Fondly, Margie

it's a tough life, Margie.
I just think it saves them going to marriage counselling.

You are always so straightforward & no-nonsense!

" Yet I don't see the gratitude coming my way"... Just because they did not send a thank you note? she probably thanks you as often as she remembers!

mmmmm, I wonder.

Tis precisely wot happens on occasions such as this... in stating that, and on significant and sustained reflection, I sincerely hope, this poem of yours gives some insight into your sense of humour and not your personal present state of affairs.........................Neville

Don't think that guy had a sense of humour. Pent up anger mind you.

[Neville]

tis such a shame... a sense of humour is crucial in a relationship... and between just you and me, I've laughed my way out of many..... N
