The Outcast

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 won't
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.

So very true Paul, being married or in a relationship already and then cheating on top. Never works out. Someone always gets hurt no matter what.

[Paul Bell]

Yes, it's a dangerous game.

and each new day another set of couples come unstuck from it yet again.

[Paul Bell]

Short term affection. Should be health warnings for it.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

gratitude for making the choice that already had supposedly been made with the vows.
Interesting...the perspective here...the justification asked for by the speaker...like, aren't you lucky i came back to you...you should be thanking me.
interesting piece.

Life and relationships, always unpredictable.

[Stella Armour]

Nor should you, good marriages stand the test of time... and occasionally affairs too

[Paul Bell]

sometimes the devil sneaks in.
