Lived without your love for nine years
You came back after cheating on me
as if the years had erased your offense
against me, once your faithful husband.
I learned you cheated on your paramour
too, not surprised, bad habits prevail.
Fool me once, never twice, won’t roll
the dice on bad bet broken trust.
I wish you well in your future romances.
Maybe there’s a lesson here for you.
Maybe someday you’ll become truer
Because of your mistakes with me and him.
As for me, I’m nine years better off
with never having to be with you again.
Bob Boyd
