The Lover

When a man falls in love he becomes a lover Above his woman he puts no other And when he closes his eyes, she will materialize And never does he want to be with another. He thinks about his love every day and night As he wants to always keep her in his heart and sight And when he is alone, To the world it is known That she is his life and also his light. When a man is cheated on he becomes a cynic His love and their life he will then mock and mimic In his heart there buns a hate, which he cant forsake As his soul and mind seems as though to forever ache. She stays in his thoughts every night and day He wonders what she did to turn herself that way Then when he's with his friends, they too confirm her sins And for him and not her they will sit and talk and pray. When a man is cheated on by his wife he becomes a poet Then of their life and relationship to all he will show it He will write down in rhyme, of her dirty sinful crime So of her sin no man or woman will ever forget it. He still thinks about what she did all the time As against him and God he knows she committed the crime And now all he wants is peace, and the pain to cease So he becomes a poet and his pain he writes in rhyme.
