You'll Wonder Why Men Cheat
Desmond Y Eklu Oct 2024
In the shadows of broken vows,
Lies a tale of wandering souls.
Men who stray, with hearts astray,
Leaving loved ones to disarray.


You'll wonder why they cheat and lie,
Why fidelity's promise they deny.
Is it weakness, or a curious stride?
Or the thrill of secrets they can't hide?


Perhaps it's the fragile male ego's sway,
Or validation sought in another's way.
Maybe loneliness creeps in unseen,
Or the lure of novelty's transient sheen.


But what of love's foundation laid?
The trust, the laughter, and the shade?
Does the rush of adrenaline's high
Outweigh the tears that must come by?


You'll wonder why men cheat and roam,
Yet, in their hearts, a void's still home.
For in the arms of another's embrace,
They search for solace, a fleeting space.


Let's seek to understand, not justify,
The complexities of the human psyche.
For in empathy and open hearts,
We may find the keys to set us apart.
