She is the woman i married, the woman i adore,
Why did she act like a cheap little whore.
Lies and deception, kept her secrets unknown,
Her closest friend was her mobile phone.
They conversed on the computer, had sex in our bed,
Told friends all about it, but nothing was said.
To think that she touched him and that he took my wife,
Makes me feel inadequate and sick of my life.
I could kill him? that would just cause me more pain,
But thinking about him just drives me insane!!
He has soiled my wife, she has destroyed my trust,
Because of their greed for bodily lust.
Now that its over, in our bed she now lies,
She says she is sorry..well what a surprise!!
I hope that she means it and im not being naive,
When she says that she loves me then will i believe?
She is my friend and i need her for the rest of my life,
But one chance is all, i will give to my wife.

This can't be an easy situation. I think marriage counseling is badly needed to help towards healing and forgiveness.

You're stronger than any man I've ever known dear, keep with it if that's what you really need- But always remember that love doesn't HAVE to hurt! HUGS

Oh dear...such a sad, angry poem, and yet a little bit of hesitant hope too.  Lovely, and truly so.

well versed.
to forgive is always easier to forget, just remember that if you are to make it work, you have to put the past to rest.
luck to you!

How bitter betrayal is!  I feel your pain.  
May your poetry and the empathy of your readers bring you comfort.

I hope you are able to find forgiveness and comfort!!  It is painful to be betrayed, cuz, you not only know the other did something not right but you may feel inadequate and wonder what did you do to make the one you love betray you!!  I hope you find peace!!

God Bless and Take Care
