If the dark is where the evil lives, and white the good, what lives in the shade of grey?

Have you ever truly wondered
Truly cared
What happens to me after you close the door every night?
Are you too blinded to see
What your lust for her has done to me
When for her you must prove your love through tests and gifts of devotion
When I love you as you
Without the silly trials and what not
Yet you have eyes for her and her alone
And I am nothing to you
Nothing but someone to keep your bed warm during those rare lonely nights

© Antonio H., London, England

I love watching crime shows, always have. Having just watched one where a man was killed by his wife because he was having an affair with a minor, this poem started forming before I had a pen and paper to write it down.
