Another Lover

Short Poem

By Michael RossPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

Thoughts from the struggling gay man. 

What makes a person want to have another lover?

What makes a person want to cheat on their spouse?

Is it sexuality bursting at the seems? Waiting to be touched?

Or is it a long forgotten feeling of freedom that we so desperately cling to?

What makes a person condemn a sanctity?

Is it the way I remind you of your child, the way they talked, the way they moved?

Or is it rather something that you never had? And you're just dying for a little taste?

What makes a person mock the institution?

Do you feel guilt in this moment, or the heat of the passion?

Is this the right thing to do?

Or is it something deviant?

What would your wife say?

Is your marriage not what it used to be? Is it not what you expected?

Or is it something your ashamed of and can’t escape?

Has society placed you so intuitively,

that you were meant to come to me in the first place?

I cannot righteously say whether you were meant to come to me or not,

but I can say that this is bigger than us.

This is a universal phenomena that makes everyone bleed,

but no one knows why.

Maybe that's why you're here,

because the blood ran cold and you noticed mine was a bit different.

Maybe it was only a matter of time, maybe things shouldn’t have happened.

But, what exactly are you suppose to do?

Maybe she doesn’t understand,

maybe she never could understand,

it just might be that she did not want to understand,

she wanted you here with me.
