Extra-Marital Affiar

Marriage is a sacred vow
an innate romantic chain
that bound the devotion
of the couple in love.

Yet along in the way
temptation intrudes
into the privacy
of romance.

Third party comes
alluring temptress
breaks the chord
of lover's loyalty.

The other partner
succumbs to lust
drowns the love
loses the bond.

Two ways may happen
either the marriage holds
or may soon totally break
at the expense of first love.
