As For Your Husband

I was dead inside
where it counts, in my heart
wasn't looking for love
not even ready to start
But he came to my door
with his tools on his belt
and a smart, cocky laugh
that made my heart melt.
He did all his work
and stayed three hours more
his lips just touched my face
when we stood at the door
I pulled him back in
and kissed him like mad
both of us starved for
love we hadn't had
in so long it was painful
but I fought the good fight
and I sent him home
still yours, that night.
But as time progresses
and sweet passion grows
not even promises to you
made either heart beat slow
if anything, for him
it beat triple time
he couldn't get in your house
what he got in mine
acceptance, and love
and contentment and peace
no long list to-do
just sweet free release.
Don't blame me for loving him
I'm not sorry, but you
bear a burden of guilt here
along with we two.
A man doesn't wander
when he's happy, it's said
but you snap on the leash
and he'll bolt , not be led.
I'm sorry if you think
that I've stolen from you
these moments he gave me
though far too few,
were too precious to regret,
but sweet uptight wife
worry no more!
he's cut out of my life.
He professes to love me
and he'd keep me,  I'm sure
but he won't divorce you
and I deserve more.
