Mental Betrayal

I saw it clearly.
Someone had opened his mail and posted it on the wall for all to see.
Do they know that this message was intended for me?
Do they know the position that I am in at this very moment?
I pray to be free
I pray for atonement
There was soft whisper in my ear as a beautiful butterfly fluttered by
And I cried Bless his cheating heart it said.
You finally know the truth
Do you regret him getting to know the real you?
The phone rang. It was him.
His voice was forceful.
He was trying to convince me that he was remorseful
And time stood still as I tried to digest this
But my mind could not register this
I have to rid myself of this hazardous relationship
It was as though I could smell his scent permeating the air
I looked around but of course, he wasn't there
It felt as though the temperature had risen over 100 degrees
Off the pavement, I could have sworn that I saw steam
Then I realized that it was just me fuming at his once again mental infidelity
For as a man thinketh...it's a done deed
