Joe thought things were going fine
Til he came across messages one night
That cut into his soul just like a knife
They were between another man
& Joe’s wife
The things she said, he couldn’t believe,
Like that she hated him & she wanted to leave
Joe felt like his heart was in shards,
in agony & left to bleed
He wondered how
he’d been too blind to see
What was then so glaring…
His wife said when caught,
that she was just lonely & angry
That the words didn’t mean a thing
despite what he’d clearly seen…
Joe felt like he’d been stabbed in the back,
Wondered how they could ever come back from that
