A Wife's Sorrow

A WIFE'S SORROW


Your words are like knives
That cut through my skin.
My head down in shame
Hiding the tears within.

I tried to hide my mistake
You were never meant to know.
How did you find out?
I made no outward show.

That affair meant nothing
It only happened once!
I admit it was stupid,
I acted like a dunce.

How can I fix this?
I want to make it right.
No please! No don't!
I'm out, in the cold dark night.

My marriage is over.
He didn't give me a chance.
Through the window I saw him,
One last look. One last glance.
