Unfaithful
May 7th, 2005
I always asked myself
What sin in God’s heaven
you committed
for an angel like you
to become a human being
I always asked your eyes
What mysteries so unfold?
What secrets so untold?
What’s inside your world?
Unjustified trips
Unknown missed calls
Stories do not fit
& whispers behind closed doors
Then you speak & tell
There has always been
Other men
& many to come
Who? Why? & when?
So many questions
Didn’t know where to begin
I seek no answer
I blame myself for your sin
This is a test,
to myself I said
I closed my eyes
Sighed on your chest
Didn’t cry,
Didn’t complain or object
What if
still I forgive you, still you sin?
What if
still I share you with other men?
You thought it went well
No it didn’t
But you wanted an excuse
to say farewell
Four weeks went by
You promised a new beginning
Now you see why
It’s all about love
It’s not about forgiving!
