Blaze

I entered my middle age crazies vowing not to cheat on my wife.

Soon I found myself in a virtual world living an alternate life.

I remember the day that I met you standing up there on that stage.

You looked down, smiling at me, telling me your name was Blaze.

We shared things that we had in common

You had a husband , I had a wife.

We found that we both came for a reason

To add some spice to our life.

Our conversations became more frequent

Our friendship grew stronger each day.

Soon I came to realize that I was falling in love with you Blaze.

I learned that you had many lovers

To satisfy your large sexual needs.

I chose to over look them for my love for you had grown strong.

As we grew closer our desires took hold.

Finally one day we both became very bold.

We moved from good friends to lovers

The passion it did ignite

The flames burnt hot and fast, going well into the night.

Our love making ran the gamut

From slow and tender to wild and hard.

I soon desired to always have you in my arms.

But alas you had many others, to me you couldn't be true.

Though I complained you always remained the one looking for something new.

I swallowed my pride and stayed by your side

Just so I could spend time with you.

Many nights after we made love I knew that to another you would go.

The voice in my head told me the truth that I dread

Soon she will forget about you and be gone.

As time went on you drifted away, my fears had started to come true.

What was once nightly encounters became weekly.

Now I haven't seen you in weeks.

Each night I sit anxiously looking for you

And each night the pain cuts me deep.

Tonight I finally allow myself to accept that you are gone.

What once was a roaring fire is just a wisp of smoke drifting away.

The city that was once our love has been ransacked and razed.

As I admit this to myself the dagger plunges deep in my chest.

Fighting through the pain I type these words one final time.

I LOVE YOU BLAZE
