He lays peacefully asleep <br />giving love a second <br />chance. A mirrored image <br />of a secret affection <br />inspires a smile from his <br />heart. Each night he <br />shares his bed with the <br />same woman of five years. <br />Flaunting his foolish disguise <br />of a man committed. She <br />never doubts his love <br />unaware of his many indiscretions. <br />Across town alone she rests <br />holding the pillow that like a <br />sponge has absorbed his tasteful <br />cologne. A mirrored image <br />of a secret affection inspires <br />a smile from her heart. <br />Belonging to someone else, <br />she struggles with her truth <br />and his reality. <br />Not sure what the future holds <br />but sure the other will be there. <br />Till their next embrace an <br />explosive kiss shared by both <br />speeds up their pulse. <br />In seperate beds their <br />hearts remain attached, <br />both smiling from their <br />hearts.<br /><br />Gero Lorna<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/goodnight-my-sweetheart-2/
