Excuse Me?

A poem about a cheater.

Um, excuse me?

I don’t think I heard you right.

You say you cheated on me?

                          Had sex with other people?

How could that be?

    Thought all I had to do was trust you

to make it easy

for you to be loyal.

Never thought

you’d betray that trust

Apparently you thought

it would be ok

because we were separated

                                                --For a few months --

Fine.  Whatever…

but you could have told me

about how far it went.

Then maybe I could have

gotten over you

with a lot less tears

than what I’ve shed for you

this past year.
