Love Poem: Guido

Guido

The therapist became her endless shame.
A married man with children still at home,
Too soon began to play the cheating game.
Just like before his lust began to roam.
Her shattered life was scattered like sea foam.
And childhood dreams of love were sent awry.
When passion melted souls in endless heat.
Realities met dreamland in the sky. 

Unspoken truth became his hidden lie.
Her screaming soul in silence lost the match.
Forever found its hope in every sigh.
Until the day sweet lovely did detach.
He dare not leave his wife for even her.
Their lot in life was scarred by passion’s burr.
