The Affair

In the quiet of our hearts
Conversations mute
Remembering-
His wife, my husband
What do we say to them?
Wondering-
Where do we go from here?
What are we going to do?

Did Fate play its cards right?
Is this the way our life will be?
Resisting the pull
With all our might
Denying each other
As if to spite.
Keeping our silences
With our faces trite.

So close but always apart
Where ever you are
Is where I can never be
Where we are
We'll be lonely.
Passing each other by, looking in
Looking out for the other, staying out.
Yearning For that
which our minds forbid.
