Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Consequence

He is in a bad time and place,

Picture of her spread on their bed.

Both hands he holds against his face,

Tears from his  eyes, bloodshot red.

She told him, he'd broken her heart,

Let their marriage crumble away.

Now she needed to be apart

From him and left their home today.

No rant and rave, a quiet she

Just told him they need take a pause.

At her parent's house she would be.

Of course he knew she had good cause.

A bad decision made for sure,

When he did choose to cheat on her.
