T h e {Love} A f f a i r

Faith is murdered.

The once promising castles of Morales and values collapse by a double-edged blade
Beautiful vows of an eternity fade
Peaceful merry-makers husband and bride
Then duality took its form into a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Funeral for a heart
Compliments twisted to complaints as they are torn apart
The faithful one's broken dreams fall past blushed cheekbones as they reach for tissues
Wrapped between the shady sheets of the distrustful one's issues
A formula for this desiderata is of selfish desires and painful intentions
Unfamiliar love claims to ease such tensions
the equation ends with a heart broken for a stranger's comfort
Covering the once beautiful lover's face with hurt
The faithful is slain by temptation
Excuses temporarily easing the situation
as spiteful whispers fill the mind
they are at a loss for lust and are blind
Feeling the upper-hand
as the stranger meets your demand
Carefully sneaking for a cure inside another's bed
For resolutions to the problems in their head.
