The Weight of Her Ring
π
She may walk like fire
and speak like wine,
but her lips
carry the ashes
of another manβs home.
Desire is not worth
the ruin you inherit.
No glory is found
in tasting
a betrayal
you didnβt earn.
π€
Never sleep with another manβs wife. Some doors are locked for a reason. Kicking them open only brings ghosts.
