WORDLE #187


JUST GOOD

Tempted by her subtle hints...

...since saving her sorry soul
stole his fresh set of morals.


Quarrels and a mix of lies
rise up like a toasty flame;
shame adds to lingering guilt.

Tilt that balance till he yields,
shields down. But sex between friends
tends to leave a bitter taste,
laced with scorn, on his palate.

  3. I was concerned with the last phrase implying lovers should not be friends but of course the reverse does apply as friends may not still be so after the loving is over.

  5. Lies, shame, guilt--seems like he learned a painful lesson for sure. I like how you put the words to use Stanski.
