I question and wonder
Why I do what I do;
You're perfect, undeserving-
But I do it to you.

Sometimes I regret
What's been done long before.
But how can I regret-
The actions made more?

You've been so faithful-
And I've been untrue.
You're perfect, undeserving-
But I do it to you...

You've given me reason
To never need more,
But I'm tempted and fragile
And urged to explore.

During the process
Its all just a game.
Winning is losing-
It's all just the same.

Before I commit, I-
Always think back.
"I've done it before,
So once more while I'm at."

Which leads to hard feelings
And depression-filled numb.
Thereafter, I regret,
But it's already done.

I'm currently not in this relationship anymore. I've always been faithful in my relationships...but due to a long distance relationship, I found myself searching for love in places I shouldn't have been searching.

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;
