The pain that stormed my heart
Was worse than a poisoned dart
"I love another" he said
"Whatever we had is dead"
Lost my soul
Lost my heart
Lost my all
But I still asked for a new start
"I'll stay and make things right" he said
Maybe we'll start over from before we were wed
Strangers now meeting at a crossroad
Promising together we'll carry the heavy load
Days, months and years passed
Still together just like I asked
The roles I assigned kept our home together
But our hearts were empty, light as a feather
The broken love was long gone
The lust we share can't bring the trust withdrawn
And yet I still want you to stay
Even though I see her in your eyes each day

Complementing the piece I wrote earlier: "The other woman". Nonfictional really except the ending.
