Watching his eyes as he speaks I hear what he wants me to hear Listening again to familiar lies There’s that same recurrent fear. He’s been with you, I can tell his eyes shine with passion’s lights you’ve lain with him, I smell you as I have many other nights. He rambles on as I fix his plate knowing he dined on your desire silently, I listen to the lies hoping soon his voice will tire. Silently screaming inside my head eyes refusing to show my distress He kisses me good night never knowing he’s the cause of my timidness I hear what he wants me to hear something inside me is soiled dangerous, hidden venomous a murderous snake lies coiled. Fear that I will strike out at him keeps my silent sentiment wondering, yet if I could quietly find a weapon of punishment. One thing will cause him to feel a pain, vivid through and through if I could find a way, dear sister, to do away with you. **This is a work of fiction. |

 (tears fall down my cheeks) Oh my gosh, I'm so happy this is a work of fiction, for I was flooding in tears feeling the emotions in this girl and how in relationships people get tangled in wicked lies of unfaithfulness and sorrow that only hurt them again later. (sigh) This is soooooo wonderfully expressed, sweet friend, my heart goes to all these people who actually have been through this pain. We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is fabulous! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!   May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Yowser...written with claws....lol not only is this guy dumb enough to fool around on the character, he's also quite folly to eat a meal prepared by her! Excellent portrayal of betrayal and human emotion! Loved this, um, dear sister!  |

Oh dear Poet.....this sends as chill through me and brings up memories I thought I had driven away. Take heart for you are stronger than you know. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

A superb poem, PoetdeVine, you had my attention with each line of your poem. I'm glad it's a work of fiction...happens so often in real life though...and I've always wondered why a man's reputation is never ruined when he commits adultery...but if a woman commits adultery, that's another story entirely. A great poem. |
