Shot Himself in the Heart

by Kips2.0   Mar 18, 2023


He thought he had it all,
A loving wife, a happy family,
But then he heard the call,
And fell for temptation's gravity.

He thought he could have it both ways,
A secret affair and his life on track,
But soon the truth began to blaze,
And his world began to crack.

He tried to keep it hidden,
But secrets have a way of coming out,
And soon his marriage was ridden,
With doubt and fear and endless doubt.

He thought he could make it right,
With apologies and promises galore,
But the wounds were too deep, the pain too bright,
And his wife could take it no more.

So he lost his family, his life undone,
A heart shattered, a soul on the run,
For he did not just shoot himself on the foot,
But ultimately in the heart, with his own pursuit.

For the lies and deceit, he could not contain,
Were the bullets that tore apart his love and reign,
Leaving him alone, with nothing to gain,
But the bitter taste of regret and shame.

So let this be a lesson learned,
That the path of infidelity is a fire that will burn,
And the consequences are not just a small concern,
But a price that one must ultimately earn.

    Some might say, he could have learned, and become a wiser man, whereas others, this is what he deserved.

    Nice rhymed poem.

      Yes, that's true. I'd say that's what he deserved.
