People cheat for many different reasons But almost none of them involve you Being enough is not a factor Listing the things that could be done Differently is a waste of precious time Because it truly wasn't you, it was them Some do it for power, some do it for control Some do it in loneliness, some do it in emptiness Whatever the reason, remember it isn't you. It is a mental compulsion, a temptation That some otherwise extraordinary people Fail to overcome, inhibit or control. This isn't a justification, nor is this an excuse I just want you to know these things Are not because of you.

Not Your Fault
