Stepped out on ‘em, in favor of another, your moral standing done changed forever,
Had you a good one waiting for your return, blissfully unaware that they just got burned,
They who made a promise with you at the altar to grow with you happily ever after, come hell or high water, until the call of the reaper,
But you threw away all that for some random that ain’t all that, met you at your urges but then drained you of your claret like some rabid vampire bat,
But sooner or later cracks the begin to show, here comes one of two options, maybe even both,
Maybe they leave you for another, you’re yesterday’s news, a used-up toy to be discarded,
Or they hold the dirt on you, intel that they’d gathered, you think you’re off the hook? Get ready to be busted.
You complain that your union’s stale, that the proverbial spark’s flickered away,
But rather than take on all comers together like before, you chose to find another with whom to score,
Must feel like a rush, sneaking behind familiar lines, get in and do your business, before they’re out of sight and out of mind,
But for every action there’s reaction, some get-back for your sins,
And so it is when you’re caught or exposed, or they simply leave you out in the cold.
And if it’s the former, the outcome is more or less expected,
The backlash and humiliation, your image tarnished over fornication,
Broke your other’s heart, those vows rendered irrelevant,
And think about your children, way to lead by example as a parent,
So your family unit never mattered? Betrayed over lusts and nether regions?
Sounds dirty, doesn’t it? Sit with that and reflect long and hard on it.
Good luck coming back from it, once the glass is broken you can’t fix it,
What you once had mere shards lying on the floor discarded.
And if it’s the latter, don’t go looking for shoulders to cry on,
Expect nothing but pile-ons, you better believe the schadenfreude will be strong on this one,
You were foolish to expect more than just soulless encounters, only immoral beings breaks up bonds founded on love, trust, respect and honor,
And now you’re sore because they left you dried and used up on the floor? Ain’t no violins in the air, Chump, cry us a fucking river,
Look in the mirror, should have taken one to know one, in a sense you deserve each other, birds of a feather flock together,
And now it’s too late, expect no mercy from your once-significant other, only spiteful words that confirm your disloyalty and cowardice before they take you straight to the cleaners.
That’s the ugly side of straying, rarely ever ends on your terms,
Get caught or get dumped, either way, the karma is well-earned.
Better get right before you get done right,
Lead with your head, not with what’s between your legs,
Trouble in paradise at home? Work through it like a team, just as you’d vowed before the preacher or whoever, things aren’t as hard as they seem,
Worse comes to worse be brave enough to confess and call it quits, sometimes it’s the only way,
It’s a hell of a lot better than sneaking and disrespecting, at least both sides can have a say,
Don’t even think you’ll get off scot, that is rarely the case,
Cheaters be sloppy, eventually get played, by their own hand or theirs, falling flat in disgrace,
Maybe you’ll be outed, unfounded texts and letters uncovered,
Maybe caught out in public, spied by the wrong eyes or on kiss cam at a concert,
The aftermath ain’t pretty, consider your name and image in the dirt,
Cheaters never win, honor can be only lost,
Think it over long and hard, your selfishness comes at a cost.
