Lovers in secret

He leaves his home each day
not because of a hard day of work
no, its because he has a lover.

It is a women he has knows for years
actually was married to her once
and their passion for each other rekindled.

He has a girlfriend he lives with
also he has a child with her
yet nothing is stopping the affair.

Do you hate me because I do this?
Do you despise my actions?

What would you do
if your lost soul-mate was found
and you are so happy that it hurts?

My conscience is marked
like a branding iron,
as my scars reflect in my mirror each day.
