Adultery

When I’m gone across the sea

And parted ways amicably

What will remain in memory

Is how you chose adultery

 

Not all our years of harmony

Nor even words of poetry

Not everything you did for me

But hauntings of adultery

 

Others judge on what they see

Your gentle smiles and charity

They don’t know your true story

Of sordid, sad adultery

 

And no amount of flattery

Can cancel your capacity

For causing pain and misery

With weapons of adultery

 

Just as well you don’t believe

In karma, hell or purgatory

For you will reap as you deceive

From lying and adultery

 

Is your feeble conscience eased?

Knowing that you are diseased

A victim of pathology

Of cancerous adultery

 

You think you’re safe in secrecy

That there’s no cost to treachery

But all roads lead to injury

On journeys of adultery

 

So many losses once I leave

But most of all the one I’ll grieve

Is your long lost integrity

From choices of adultery
