He came home early and caught me at it.
‘How could you?’ he cried, hurt, wounded.
Disbelieving.
‘I’ve had enough,’ he yelled. I’m leaving.”
How did it come to this?
One cross word was all it took
To tear apart the life we shared,
The things we did
To show we cared.
If I could turn back time
I would not commit
The cheating act,
Which made him sad.
Such hurtful crime.
Oh why did I get tempted
And twist the truth,
With which, I will admit, I was extremely frugal.
I’m so sorry that I cheated
And looked up the final crossword clue
On Google.
