When shadows cast upon deceitful nights,
A topic oft debated, devoid of light,
We dare explore the depths where darkness lies,
Unveiling truths through melancholic sighs.
"Why do men cheat," the whispered question of mist,
Brewing storms in hearts so sadly dismissed,
Aching souls beg for answers to disclose,
The secrets stored behind love's fragile prose.
Is it the thrill of conquest they desire,
Or wounded ego seeking to acquire,
The temptations that lurk beyond the realm,
Their transient hearts surreptitious helm?
Do they seek solace in embrace unknown,
When flames of passion wane and love has flown,
To find within another’s arms some zest,
An escape from routines that leave them stressed?
Or is it fear, insecurities that bind,
The restless heart, yearning to always find,
Validation sought through fleeting embrace,
Alluring whispers, masks upon their face?
But let us not accuse with hasty blame,
For even women wander within this game,
Actions cannot be painted on one brush,
For love's canvas is neither pure nor flush.
For temptation knows no gender, nor its plea,
It lingers in the hearts of you and me,
Yet still we seek to comprehend this plight,
Unraveling the reasons with insight.
In search of love's essence, we must explore,
Confront the pain that lies beneath the shore,
Seek healing light where darkness used to be,
To break the chains of infidelity.
And so, dear soul, we journey through the depth,
Dissecting reasons, hoping to intercept,
The patterns formed in hearts that stray astray,
In hopes that love's foundation will still stay.
But know, dear heart, that love's not bound to pain,
Its beauty thrives beyond betrayal's stain,
For men may cheat, but there are those who'll stay,
Defying odds, their loyalty holds sway.
In these reflections, may we seek the truth,
To understand the yearnings of lost youth,
And strive to heal the wounds that linger sore,
For love to triumph in her age-old lore.
