"A Lover's Prayer"
I was home
the night it happened
sitting on the couch
waiting in the dark
you came in
with another man
went up the stairs
leading him by the hand
The empty pit in my stomach
burned with regret and anger
causing me to clench my fists
and grit my teeth
How could you?
I did not sleep that night
somewhere inside
I could feel my heart shatter
I went up the stairs
to get my things the next day
and caught you with him
in bed
On the ride home
you fell asleep next to me
like a fool, I put my arms
around you
Outside, I saw crows fly overhead
May God grant them a better
Fate than
what karma has coming for you.
