This poem along with 5 others was inspired after reading a poem from one of our other members who had either been involved with of at least cared for a married man, you know who you are thanks for the inspiration....


the cheating husbands explanation



When I first saw you
You were all I ever wanted
All I ever dreamed of
And then they all came true


When I first saw you
I couldn't believe my eyes
And then my dreams came true
What a surprise

How could I get your heart
How could you fall in love with me
How did this all start
How did it become reality

I never felt so proud
As when I had you by my side
I wanted to shout out loud
All I had inside

But days turned to weeks, months and years
Somewhere there we changed
And love and passion to anger and tears
Our lives no longer the same/ we lost all we'd gained

I don't know when I first realised
I didn't look at you the same way
The dreams in the corner of my eyes
Had all began to fray

She wasn't there then
She didn't tempt me away
She didn't use my pain
to try and make me stay

at first I didn't see
or notice that I cared
the way things turned out to be
after what we shared

but by then it had all started
and I had no control
confused and broken hearted
who was I to console

I couldn't stop it happening
I couldn't slow it down
I couldn't go back to the beginning
I couldn't find my way around

And now it is all out in the open
Like a child I want to curl up and cry
And all that I have been hoping
I cant even understand why

Should I beg you to take me back
Is that expecting too much
Should I run to her
And her caresses and touch

I have never felt as low as I do now
I probably even deserve the way I feel
I don't even know how to get by somehow
I cant even tell if this is real

But still
I cant run and hide
Cant kill
All I have inside

All I want to sat
I don't know where to start
I don't even know if I want to stay
It feels like I've lost my heart
