When deception steals your hope.

The Affair

Broken dreams are left,

all that I had to offer

crushed by deception.

"The Affair" your words are so true, "Broken dreams". Being unfaithful is a choice but with that choice comes consequences, loss of trust, commitment, lies, and finally love. Again an expressed piece with correct word choice for the short piece.

Yes victims of affairs are abused people in so many ways. Many thanks Robert.

I like a little a little undercover spy work now and again. A good short teaser here!
DECEPTION= undercover spy work Too much TV and too much real life undercover spy work in my youth.

A complete tale of searching, finding, investing and ultimately; cruelty in a concise write.

That's what happens when you go out with someone bigger than you! You get crushed! Oops sorry wrong "crushed". Yes deception not only crushes, it stings as well! A short sharp straight for the jugular write. Sorry I know I know I do crap and not really funny reviews, crap! I know!

[John Alexander McFadyen]

OMG she was bigger than me!
But you are allowed to be the humourmeister Andrew as it cheers us all. Many thanks.

I was betrayed by someone I loved very much. It takes a long time to feel you can trust again.
