Caught In The Act

I guess I put him on the spot

Told me to trust him I could not

I followed him a mile or two

Then froze as she came into view


They walked together hand in hand

This man I do not understand

I stand and try to clear my head

I walk home and climb into bed


Later on when I hear the key

And think of his dishonesty

One chance was all he should have got

As Leopards never change their spots

Woah. Like usually I never get the meaning of most poems. It’s either super hard or the rhymes make my brain a wad of scrambled, cooked organ. However, I got this one. Easily. And your rhymes are just perfect! 🖤


Absolutely great job. Gunna check out more later.
