Unfaithfulness

Do you remember

the day we stood under the arch of love

and exchanged the vows we wrote together

You promised to stick by me no matter what happens

I swore to love you right even if the world crumbles

Everyone believed our vows

so did I

but never have I thought

you would vow a lie 

that sounds so mellifluous

that seems so beautiful

in front of my face

We created many happy memories together

Those were the moments I'll cherish forever

but will you?

For once I thought I was the luckiest man

For once I thought I was truly loved

For once I thought I finally found the right one

But you proved me wrong

Utterly wrong

Shortly after reality checks in

you met him, by chance

You stopped coming home early

You stopped listening to me

I looked you in the eye

all I can see are a vast amount of fear

and a colossal pool of lies

That moment I wonder,

could you have stopped loving me as well?

I stood under the rain, discreetly

as I watched him put a spoonful of soup into your mouth

I watched him peel off his jacket

and covered it on your shoulder

as you and him exited the cafe

You got into his car

and kissed him the way you'd never kissed me

I was drenched with rainwater

heartbroken and abandoned.

You argued that I have no rights to stalk you

but darling,

you don't have the rights to toy with my feelings

How did we get here?

From I do,

to you don't

Tell me,

what have I done wrong

am I not good enough for you?

I swore to love you right

and I did not break my promise

You vowed to stand by me

but now you stood by him

All that I want, all that I desire

is your undivided affection

Yet

all that you've done

is giving him all your heart

and replacing me with him

Even so,

I'm proud,

because I've done my part right

as a loving and faithful spouse

but it grieves my soul to ask,

have you?
