Weekly Challenge
Feeling a little bit naughty. So this "inappropriate?" (Perhaps) proverb caught my eye.
If the wife sins, the husband is not innocent.
This is a truth to which I can testify
I used to walk the high way but
Now I crawl underneath
Understand my heart
It has been tossed for dirty dimes at your false feet
A good woman' heart unvarnished
Loves to keep her faith
Take her not for granted
Nor scorn the soft dreaming love she gave
For she will save it for another,
On a rainy day
Along with tears she forbore to shed
And bestow it in her despair
on beggars and dreamers and jokers
Dry hearts long since dead
Until to its last furtive drop
its eventually bled.
If the wife sins, the husband is not innocent.
So if she walks with vampires undead
He sank his own greedy fangs in first
Untrustworthy fodder for lust he made.
If the wife sins, the husband is not innocent.
This is your truth, so own it
Take your sordid taint
With which you painted your woman black
Nocturnal lying desolate black
Ravenous ruthless relentless black
Darkness is what you will
Ever get back....
