Betrayal (or: two people fucking in a hotel room)

She looks at him,

he looks at her,

in each of them,

new urges stir.

---

Weary souls,

they've both become,

each on the road,

for far too long.

---

We all need love,

or sometimes less,

just a touch,

or warm caress.

---

Their paths had crossed,

and wine now flows,

from friendly chat,

desire grows.

---

His advance,

at first contested,

time ticks on,

her boundaries tested.

---

Jokes and booze,

he starts to find,

are perfect tools,

to change her mind.

---

They slipped upstairs,

now clearly stumbling,

to his room,

and started fumbling.

---

In the shadows,

moans were uttered,

and passionate,

clichés were muttered.

---

Deeper breaths,

and louder cries,

flesh on flesh,

is each their prize.

---

Climax!

They crumple in a heap,

and stupefied,

drift off to sleep.

---

Daylight breaks,

and they begin,

to see the manner,

of their sin.

---

In each of them,

the morning rouses,

knowledge of,

cuckolded spouses.

---

She looks at him,

with ample shame,

looks in the mirror,

feels the same.

---

He shakes it off,

been here before,

collects his trousers,

from the floor.

---

They then part ways,

and each agree,

a vow of complete,

secrecy.

---

Arriving home,

From their remisses,

they’re welcomed back,

with hugs and kisses

---

That night they watch,

their partners sleeping,

while practicing,

their secret-keeping.

---

In quiet spots,

they’ll try to reason,

what they did,

was hardly treason.

---

Just because,

I strayed one time,

I can’t be punished,

for this crime.

---

It happens,

all the time these days,

It’s not my fault,

in many ways.

---

Genetics, nature,

society,

(and alcohol,

to some degree)

---

Think of my kids,

they’ll suffer too,

if I come clean.

‘What would you do?’

---

No, just keep going,

with the show,

it’s for the best,

they never know.
