His Cheatin' Heart

I should be used to his wandering heart by now, but it always seems to catch me off guard.  It starts off innocently enough, a little comment here and there.  Then come the furtive glances at his phone, always aware and connected.  Updates from all possible means of technology.  By Thursday, his plans are starting to form for the weekend: how best to indulge in his leather and chain fetish.

Like a wino on a binge, this new love consumes his thinking.  Conversation, chores, and adventures all revolve around the mistress.  And she's a clever one with her classy little monogram.



She draws him in year after year, but its the same old story. She'll play his heart for a few months, teasing him week after week.  There's always a climax, a week of wild play.  And then she's gone, leaving him high and dry once again.

But for better or for worse, I'll stand by my man.  He'll eventually come to his senses (at least for a few months!).
