Analysis of Your Cheating Chart 2



Soon complications rear their head;
recriminations that you dread
Within yourself there is debate
on how and when to extricate
The one you "could not live without"
places your future in grave doubt
You realize a bit too late
that love once cherished turns to hate
The one who's feeling most betrayed
denounces you in a tirade
In deep remorse, there's no road back;
your groveling yields little slack
Could you expect a happy end
from breaking hearts you can not mend?
Pay the piper and bear the cost;
the price is high and all is lost
Your cheating chart you can review;
fidelity you can imbue
