Secrets Of Lasting Love

I am the deadly secret you keep from your wife,
The downside of relief, the existence of life,
We started without language, without words spoken,
A window of clarity, to build, to become broken,
From a microscopic sight we grew, we did age,
Then a physical embrace became minimum wage,
I grew our connection through silence and time,
Your children grew without understanding the unseen crime,
Your wife would undress and look at you,
Parts of your body you hid, evidence of what were going through,
If she became to close, you stand, you move,
Inclinations became questions, something to prove,
I 've had offspring, the strings of your body I take,
Creating a man of weaknesses knowing the time of fate,
Rather then a shaking of words, comes silence,
Standing on a battle field and denying the violence,
A single wave without a boundless ocean,
Before each wave can question the complexity of an emotion,
Your wifes reflection continues to age,
While ignoring the writing in the corner, the top of the page,
You don't erase, just prolong the day,
A reminder of time, waiting to stay,
You lay in bed, a young love holding your hand,
As your frail aged body admits it can't stand,
You pray for forgiveness, a secret made out of love,
The hidden anger of life with a disease caring white dove,
You claim the secret was made of love, for their protection,
Without making time lifes' deadly injection,
I am the deadly secret you keep from your wife,
The cancerous tumour, a secret kept to prolong the happiness of her life.
