She regrets now
the time spent sulking
As if her tears
could wash away the pain
of his infidelities
But her heart
was heavy laden
and burden with shame
She cried
For she couldn't understand
for the life of her
his wanton gratuitousness
for leisure parlor affairs
Wasn't she good enough
loyal
faithful
accommodating?
The sacrifices she made
to be with this man
who now causes her
so much heartache and pain
She was numb with disbelief
she no longer had control of her tears
they fell freely
Like a quiet summer rain
