He showed up in the evening
when his wife was fast asleep
with a bouquet of flowers
that were only make believe
He gave them to his lover
and she put them in a vase
she knew he didn’t love her
she could see it in his face
Then one day she asked him
to leave his wife for her
he laughed in her face
said it would just create a stir
She said if you cannot chose between us
then you must be on your way
she couldn’t believe he left her
and she begged for him to stay
This sad story of a love gone astray is my entry into this weeks’ Friday Fictioneers.

That’s a story that has happened many times and will happen again. Nice poem.
How else did she expect it to go? How can a man who isn’t faithful to his wife be faithful to another woman?
Well done on the prompt!

like the make believe flowers, the love was also make believe
