Cheater, Cheater, What Have You Done?

this is the last song she played for me. i felt my heart begin to fray as i climbed out of her car and into mine. since then, sting’s voice has haunted me. since then, these words have followed me.

truth is, she and i never talked about my relationship with my husband. she knew i was married. she knew from day one. but she also knew more than i’d ever revealed to her.

i will always associate sting with our goodbye. this was her last attempt to show me i needed to leave. she never asked it of me. never said the words herself. but, i knew, that’s what she was doing.

if he loved you
like i love you
i’d walk away in shame
