Infidelity shines like a halo over his beautiful eyes.

'Come back, I forgive you'
You bleed a smile.

Judgment lies heavy atop your tongue.
Your heart bleeds bitterness.

'Go get your own man'
You chastise from behind a virtual wall.


Hatred rips apart your chest as you recognize his lover.
He's wrong, she's wrong, but you go against your own kind

'We should stand by us'
When will you take your own advice.



Hera, Hera, will you ever learn!
Zeus is an infidel and he will never change.
You deserve better and you know it too,
Yet you punish us women for falling in his arms.

Remember the days of your youth,
Where he flattered you into taking off your robe
Stripping your skin of her innocence.
Yet you punish us women for drowning in his charm.

Hera, marriage does not define who you are.
