Late night work, weekends away,
With another you began to stay.

You picked up women at bars for sex,
And left your wife like a discarded “ex”.

“It was because you were misunderstood, ” you said,
You wanted attention, especially in bed.

Was it mid-life crises or just your selfish needs,
That caused you to commit those unconscionable deeds?

Whatever the reason, all trust is gone,
And feelings are cold where they once were warm.

Never did I doubt your faithfulness to me,
So guess who the joke’s on… the jokes on me!
