New Years Eve Affair
She puts on a fresh coat of lipstick,
Wipes the mascara from beneath her eyes.
Clearing evidence of tears,
Masking her web of lies.
She clutches her purse,
And swiftly flicks her hair.
Stepping out of the bathroom,
And heads straight for the stairs.
Back into the ballroom,
Striding with elegance and poise.
Amongst the other guests,
Chattering and exuding noise.
With champagne in hand her husband returns,
Clinking their glasses he makes a toast.
To his beautiful wife,
Whom he loves the most.
She glances at the ground before meeting his eye,
A smile on his face as he's completely unaware.
That she's just made love,
to another man downstairs.
