Infidelity

How many times, I have cheated. I have lost count And yet, you never left Always patiently waiting for my return

Whether I forgot you to preserve status at work

Or chose friendship over you

Or got lost in my wife's embrace

Or found purpose in my son's eyes Or danced myself to unconsciousness Or drunk myself to hedonistic pleasure Eventually, it all ended Except you You were there in those And even out of those My one true lover
