Mike

You were on the East, I'm out West
It was obvious that it might not best
To open my life and my heart
When we lived so many miles apart

You charmed me with your smile and touch
Your meaningful words affected me so much

I was ecstatic to be with you for our hotel stays,
As we made passionate love for days

Our time together felt like a fairy tale
Compared to you, all others pale

You were, you are, my one true love
You appeared to be a gift from above

Until the day that the flowers were sent
And I realized what they meant

You no longer wanted me in your life
Because you were fearful of your wife

You fed me so full of your lies
But did I actually realize,
From the start it wasn’t right
You never let me call at night

Was I naïve or simply in denial?
Was I that desperate for a smile?

That I fell prey to a cheating man
Who broke my heart, and then he ran

It’s been several years and I’m no longer sad
Now I am just disgusted and mad

The lesson is learned and won’t be repeated
I was the victim of a man who cheated
