We met by a chance a friendly word, a casual glance

Second meeting not so fleeting, a time and place was set

We meet and seem to hit it off, the lies start we didn’t stand a chance

Both separated from our spouses the lies that destroy were not evident yet

A year of madness was started, kids driven mad by a delinquent dad

Dad driven mad by someone else’s delinquent wife

I didn’t complain it was fun for a while

The destructive pace was not sustainable, destroyed my life

Suicidal threats and games beyond my comprehension

Everyday spent in a state of enhanced apprehension

Eventually the tension took its toll

I snapped and took her back to a husband who said I don’t want her

Too bad I said as I handed him the bin bags of his life

While a train wreck of a wife went back to her old life

I walked away and was happy for the fun, but the world isn’t fair for the meek

I moved on and was glad of the lesson I had learned, life is not a game for the weak
