Woman To Woman Poem by Gero Lorna

Aching arm muscles from gripping so hard.
I could not control my hands once it started
a broken home an adulterous husband motivated this
woman to pursue my man.
Through the beating of my heart and
the hot flow of blood in my veins.
I see no need to apologize and why should
I refrain.
I dare you, take a moment and walk a yard
in my shoes tell me, what would be your
reaction had this been done to you.
'Woman to woman' Shirley exclaims, again
I ask why should I refrain.
A plead for forgiveness on bended
knee I swear. Through her severely bruised
eye, I refuse to believe those tears.
I struggle through this dishonesty, lies
and deceit forgiving another and
his mistake, the past I won't repeat.
