His secret
Here I lie alone again. In the middle of the night waiting on him. He calls and tells me he has to work late. I’m no fool he’s on a date. My heart aches and my tears pour. He’s done this to me once before. I don’t know how much more I can take. Every night my heart it breaks. I try my best to make things right. If I question him it leads into a fight. So ask myself what should I do. We have a child and he’s two. Leaving him always crosses my mind. But I don’t want to break this family’s bind. I hear the door open and steps that creak. I roll over and act like I’m asleep. He climbs in bed and I smell her perfume. That mystery smell lingers in our room. He wraps his arm around and holds me close. But I know he’s thinking of her the most. I close my eyes and start to weep. His foolish secret I will keep.
