The Predicament of a Faithful Spouse

The Predicament of a Faithful Husband

There are women that just make me burn -
One glance at them and I’m set on fire!
I have been burnt, still I could never learn
To put out flames that people called desire.

What can I do? They come to me in dreams,
Make love to me and make me feel like a sire
Who got his crown through the dirty schemes…
I don’t cheat but still feel like a liar.

It’s so strange when I meet them again!
We have been lovers, we caressed each other
In vivid dreams… In this world all I can
Is to hold back, pretend I don’t bother.
