the affair

'Passion overwhelms the guilt
love supercedes the pain,
you're the one thats married
yet I'm the one in chains.'

- a very powerful final stanza, shoe. Truly haunting.

I'm pleased you felt that from it, thank you for reading and taking time to comment,

Love the poem especially the last two stanzas, "love is a mental illness" is really strong.

Would litter work better than line in the first stanza? I wasn't too sure if the broken glass was underfoot or on either side - not that it matters too much it's there its sharp and its dangerous.

Thank you Nick for your kind words and suggestion,
I picture the glass underfoot so "litter" would be more desciptive, although you would have to pronounce it lit-ter to keep the rhythm.
"Sharp and Dangerous" indeed
as illicit love is wont to be
