My husband cheats. I look the other way. For the children, of course. I myself am worthless, Stupid. Humiliation suits me. Each day I steel myself for words each day more vicious. But you are like a rainbow in my sky. I look at you and know life can be good. You call me gorgeous, I don't wonder why. And happiness shines through me, as it should. You, too, bear a cross: Your friend has cancer, And you will not desert her. I agree. Our love must be a question, not an answer, A distant light on hills we cannot see. Perhaps we are both fools to sacrifice, Yet in such love is where true beauty lies.
