Fatal Attraction Poem by Kelvin Rush

I need a plan of action
To get me out of this hole
It was like a scene from Fatal Attraction
I lost all self-control

It involved my work mate Rachael
A pretty and intelligent girl
We worked in a team we got on like a dream
She was friends with my wife Pearl

It all started out quite innocently
Laughing and flirting unaware
That soon it would turn to intimacy
So began the seedy affair

It's impossible to explain how I feel
The guilt the torment and shame
I love my wife and my kids so much
I couldn't bear to see them in pain

Rachael told me not to worry
She wouldn't say a word
Of course that was easy for her to say
She was single and free as a bird

I'm caught in the trap like a weak scared rat
And I don't know what to do
Should I tell my wife should I stop the affair
I wish this was something I could undo

Six months go by and nothing has changed
I pretend everything is fine
Then my world is rocked I'm in total shock
Rachael's expecting and the baby's mine

That's the final straw I can't take anymore
I sit down with my wife and confess
I'm told to leave so I pack my things
I'm shaking in total distress

I'm now living on my own in a bedsit
I can't believe how stupid I've been
I've lost my wife I don't see my kids
It's all been a horrible dream
