SECOND SEDUCTION
A veil of sadness
conceals her eyes
she averts his gaze,
integrity doesn't lie.
Retreating into silence
she hopes to hide.
He exaggerates his charms -
attempts to restore lost pride.
Ended engagements
are harder for one
someone stays behind
the other, chooses to run.
Someday they return
perchance to see,
if the grieving partner -
awaits a new entreaty.
Most grevious of all
is their intentional forray
to seduce the lover yet again,
only to stage another get-way.
Second seductions
re-pierce broken hearts -
bleeding old wounds,
excoriating healed scars.

Thanks Scribbler!
You sound like an honourable man! Truth is the protagonist "welcomed" the gesture - from the point of view "if you don't learn your lesson the first time - you will be forced to repeat it!"
Fortunately this was penned some time back! ;)
Best wishes for the upcoming year!
