Love Poem: Betrayed Bethroned

Betrayed Bethroned

You said that you loved me
More than anyone
and that I was your one true love

but when I asked you to take out the trash
you said that you were late coming home
and that I would need to do it by myself

You said that you loved me
More than all the red roses that money could buy
and that no one would come before me

but when I asked you to hang the Christmas tree
you said that you were late getting off from work
and that I would need to hang the tree alone

You said that you would make love to me
Better than the God Adonis himself
but when I was in the mood
you said that your mother needed you to take out her trash
and that I was on my own in that department

So you said...
You said...
You said...
and so you said

But what you forget to say
was that you were around the block from our home
With another man
