Duplicity (Metaphor Poem)
by @ElizabethSquires
dipping his appendage
into a place of unfaithfulness
ended their relationship
in glacial coldness
the wife
couldn't bear
the disloyalty
and the pain
that her husband
wrought upon her heart
all the while
he was playing a cruel game
telling his wife
that he loved her
his words of love
were but a unfeeling
lot of pretentiousness
his mind and appendage
were as one
he just had to have
the strumpet
who caused his marriage
to come undone
the wife is always the victim
she pays a high cost
for her husband's duplicity
in fooling around
with a brazen hussy
