I rot inside from some confounding lie I think I know what I must do, but chains block me.
Could I let The only man in this world who is worth anything,
The only man who treats me well The only one who loves me go?
There is another, He looks at me and smiles, But I cannot tell what kind it is,
My heart flies And I catch myself in shame As my partner says he loves me, For when he is making love to me, I am making love to the other, Do I want more?
I feel sly, like a snake in the garden, every time I come home to my darling. How can I love you, and be with you, if I constantly think of how life would be with someone else with someone like him‌
Even these words feel like a crime, if I think them then I must be a beast, An unfaithful beast 46 46
