A Very Meaningful Relationship

She saw the world in its material splendor
While he stayed at home and noted dates on the calendar
The distance apart made them both shiver
Yet was melted with each carnal embrace and such vigor

She wasn't his only, and likewise for him
Substitutes for both of them could be found on a whim
Plucking out one eye, concealed in fog shrouds
The Clintons and Kennedys of the world would be proud.

Their friends came over, they shared their space
They hid their unfaithfulness with due haste
They set up the stage, they played their roles
And secrets that night were kept on hold
The whispers had still rung through our ears
Confirming suspicions and my worst fears

It was something we wanted, but couldn't handle,
It was something we wanted, but couldn't handle.
