Cheating

by Sarah Boom

Well I digress
I must protest
The way you are behaving

For it was love
And never lust
That I had been craving

I gave up every word
And Every tear
That ever I'd been saving

The silver blade
The red, broken vein
You called it misbehaving

Well I digress
I must protest
In the way that I've been treated

For It was you
Twas never I
Who said I'd been defeated

So here I stand
Leather bags in hand
And away I am retreating

Of your cold heart I've tired
There's nothing left of you to be admired
And It is I, whom you've been cheating

Author's Note: It's very repetitive but I really enjoy that about this poem. I just wrote it about five minutes ago, and I envision a very depressed wealthy woman, and her cheating husband when I read this. What do You think when you read it?

I like the repetition as well. The content speaks for itself.
