I agree with Milo. It would be hard not to have a look. I like your poem, but I'm a bit uncomfortable at the leading questions asked, when guilt is already established. She's read the messages.

Poet as excuse my ass. Didn't anyone ever learn to respect other people's privacy?

But if they're coming home drunk and you're tempted, the texts are probably not where the problem lies.   Wink

Not me, I will definitely snoop. Curiosity is in my nature. When the wrong mail gets delivered to my house I open it. (I never pay the bills though)
