If I win
I will have won this
fair and square
If I lose
I will have lost this
and won’t have to care
about you
or your new girlfriend
If I’m wrong
I will be cataclysmically incorrect
I will owe on every bet
and beg you to forget her
and her endless bank account
legs and youth
If you could just be brave
and tell the truth
But I see you squirming
awkward in your plush car seat
I can see the worm –
it’s turning
Now it’s with me
you cheat…

Here’s the question I always asked myself. Why should I want someone who’s not sure they want me? You can’t change people.

This made me think of one of my favorite songs. Just kind of my anthem 🙂 You are a warrior, Kait. Unstoppable as the waves of the ocean, and just as beautiful. Love you!!!

As always, dark subject matter handled beautifully. Just one question though Kait, if he cheated on you why would you want to keep him? If he (or she) did it once it proves they gave into temptation, but if they do it more than once then they care nothing for you. Kick them out, have the pain of loss but move on. You know I love you Kait and will never cheat on you xoxo

Awww bless your cotton sox, Dave! 🙂 I often write from the position of empathy. Dealing with domestic violence and child abuse etc, gave me an insight I wouldn’t have without that experience. I’m pretty sure I’ve been cheated on – but hey, who hasn’t these days! Lots of love, peace and light to you and yours xoxo

Reminds me of those dreams where you catch them cheating and beat the ever living crap out of them and they don’t feel a thing. What frustration. UGH! Great poem!
