scarlet 5

I look again
at the ring
the diamond ring
she wears
I know her husband
I like her husband
he's my friend
but when I'm with her
the want
the need
the desire for her
is too strong
I must have this woman
my body merging
with hers
skin on skin
when she opens herself to me
moving together
with passion
surging together
until lust finds fulfillment
later
she sits on the edge of the bed
her bare feet
on the cold hard floor
her toenails painted scarlet
she lights up another cigarette
