PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

My husband makes me happy

in every which way but sex.

I need to be desired;

I need to be ravished.

You ruined me for my husband,

putting thoughts in my head

of what intimacy was like.

The way you looked at me-

your intense stare-

that pierced my soul

is something I won't forget. 

I wanted you 

to leave me alone,

let me focus on my marriage.

But when your attention came,

it fueled me-

it made me feel alive 

when I was a zombie walking.

I knew it was a mistake;

I knew I was spiraling

not out of control

but under your control.

I didn't consider

what it was doing 

to my husband as 

we drifted apart.

Seeing him in pain

was the motivation I needed

to turn away from you.
