Cheating

Staring at the clock, she waits for the chime,
Knowing only a small amount of time.

She can share with her lover so true.
A secret, so scandalous, yet so new.

Her husband is home, awaiting her return.
His wife is home; the meal she prepares burns.

Yet if only for an hour they must meet.
Holding, loving, desiring the others treats.

If he only knew, or if she found out.
Their lives would be ruined without a doubt.

But still, she sits and watches the clock.
For he has always held the key that unlocks.

Her hearts desires, her bodies flame.
Her reckless spirit, that only he could tame.

He is just as guilty because he also knew,
when he married that girl he would not stay true.

Just like clockwork they meet, and their tryst starts.
She has never wanted a man as much for he holds her heart.

Little do they know, they have been found out.
Her husband is not home. His wife came out.

They sit together and watch as their lovers unite.
They sigh, each heartbroken at the sight.

Soon, the couple vanishes and they must decide.
Do we tell them we know, lest they will continue to hide?

Do we follow and confront them now that we know the truth?
Do we join in their game, and have our own ruse?

They smile and decide, to let the game go.
They can become friends, and the others never needed to know.

Like the couple before, the two soon discover. They could be friends that could not keep their hands off each other.
