Cheating Terms
Body lies somnolent upon each new day’s arrival.
Mind knows the tacit words she said that day.
Heart has been seared beyond any repair.
X marks the spot upon my chest from gelid truth.
Breaking my heart that day she left our room.
Shedding communication from me, of all kinds,
Only a placid look as she leaves for work at night.
Scornful attitude she leaves me, facing insularity.
These things have been a week’s pastime today
Discovering, she says she is leaving me, forever.
I pressed her to communicate with an old friend.
Feeling of confidence, not realizing their past,
Now I pass the time shielding my wounds so deep.
However, looking hard enough you can clearly see.
An X that marks the spot where she drove her cheating,
Terms deep into my chest, while ripping my affection.
