Brett... Did you promote this again? I thought I read this in your portfolio. I thought it sad then and still think so today... Beautiful poem of a Love gone wrong.
Always justafan,

A true work of poetry, loving line structuring, items placed defining and captivating in thoughts for the reader, write disclosures projective and instructive -I found to be a pleasurable read

this is an excellent write, brett, you did an excellent job writing this poem about the marriage broken up because of infidelity. I enjoyed reading it, though it's a sad subject.

Comment from Judgement Dave
An enjoyable, well written poem that paints a good picture.
Admittedly I'd maybe think differently if I'd ever been put in that position, but touch wood (he says, moving his hand to his head).
Particularly liked:
"The grass ain't always greener
On the wrong side of the hill"
and
"I gave you everything I could
Inside a golden band"
It's almost a shame that the 5th verse doesn't rhyme as it's the only one not to.
Cheers

Hey Bret,
You have a ability to put rhyming words and phrases together,
painting a very vivid picture.
I guess I appreciate this poem because I was once a victim
of a girl I loved very much but for her it wasn't just a one stand, I was every nightstand that I wasn't with her. Dumb me I just about put a friend in the hospital because he was telling me about her nightly stands, and I didn't believe him.
Oh well God gave me a faithful loving girl I marrie 56 years ago, and the other one is some where between here and here.

Well, Bret. The play on words, of finding the note on the night stand of the man's name of her one night stand was brilliant. Yes, we have all been betrayed in some way and yes, revenge is sweet :) Well written and enjoyed your work. Look forward to reading more.

I can hear the words from your poem...becoming, if not already ..a good country western song & think, maybe, it just might of already, have been sung... Too, your poem for me was a very good read...And deserving of a six, that right now, I just don't have...Hope to read more of your poetry, & think, too they make great melodies & like a good song, can make memories, or like this one, I think many can relate to if they had this, unfortunately, happen to them, be it spouse or one they thought would be there, this love forever for just them & finding, well, in a situation...a One Night Stand...or many more...Can undoubtfully, cause so much emotional pain for the one who didn't cheat.

Comment from seaglass
This is a solid reminder to those of us who have experienced divorce due to infidelity. For most of us, it's just not something that can be forgotten. All these verses have wonder rhyme. However, verse 4 dropped that rhyming pattern.
Don't look to me to be the one
To forgive, no need to plea.
Cheatin' gets you everything
Except the love you need from me
Just a suggestion...

Nice rhythm on this occasionally rhymed song/poem.
I could hear the guitar twanging a soulful she-done-me-wrong melody.
A refrain would round it out nicely. (imho)
