Contagious

I woke up in the morning and smiled at my man and he smiled into the eyes of 
his other lover

I gave him a diamond ring and he used it to decorate the finger of that child that 
would never call me mommy

i gave him kisses so soft and sweet, but he tasted her lips when he came from 
tasting mine

I gave him the most fatal disease: love, and he spread it every where, every 
where but to me
