I know you are lonely, <br />I see you twisting slowly <br />in that ill wind <br />unable really to resist <br />his soft words. <br /> <br />I see how you look at him <br />the times you've disappeared, <br />your time unaccounted for. <br /> <br />I see it in your <br />new makeup <br />and dress <br />in the extra care <br />you take in the mirror. <br /> <br />I see changes in you <br />and know they <br />do not come from me. <br /> <br />I see her <br />because she is convenient <br />and asks little or nothing from me. <br /> <br />The sex is rough, <br />wild at times <br />more about release <br />than tenderness. <br /> <br />I know you're cheating <br />and worse <br />know <br />I can't soften now; <br />the anger blocks <br />the things you need. <br /> <br />So I perch here <br />on this abyss <br />going <br />no where <br />compass-less<br /><br />Lonnie Hicks<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/cheating-for-you-his-story/
