Love Poem: This Is Why I Cheated

This Is Why I Cheated

This is why I cheated
We never talk; all we do is fight and argue
Things between us are always so heated

You never say you’re wrong
So that means I am never right
Constant battle we go through 
Every day and every night

I want to be done with this
Just wish you would walk away
But you won’t 
And I won’t
So we drag this mess along
At least for another day

With the distance
Between our love getting bigger 
And bigger
Temptation becomes such a powerful
Figure

With the voices of the change and lust
Screaming in my ear
Those moments where you say 
You love me
Are sometimes hard to hear

I don’t know when I will slip
But I know I am due
And when it finally happens
I know it will somehow
Get back to you

I will tell you I never 
Meant to see you hurt
Never meant to see you cry
I know you don’t believe me
All my words sound 
Like a bunch of lies

And for some strange reason
My heart will also hurt
I know I will feel some pain
It doesn’t make sense
Like when you see no clouds
But your body feels the rain

The reason why I am telling you
This is because if you don’t learn 
From history you are doomed 
To be repeated

And I didn’t want you wondering
Why I broke your heart
I didn’t want you wondering why I cheated
