Love, Not Marriage

Women a plenty marry for love

But what happens when love flees?

What is a woman to do?

Should she continue?

What if a woman found love again?

But in a new man

Could she marry him?

She can't,

For she is already held in wedlock

But would she be forsaken

To experience physical acts with him?

Who would know?

The world does, for she bared a child

The world knows by that Scarlet Letter

A, for Adultery

But what of the child?

Should she be taken away?

Nay, she shall stay with her mother

The mother that chose Love

Love, not marriage
