Loneliness forced the issue that led him astray

12 given words:
broken plank cliff longer mistake revenge, 
music, everything loneliness, create,snare pepper 

Traumatic experience of a broken promise
Made to walk the plank at top of the cliff
No longer a mistake but an act of revenge
Had to face the music despite being a friend

Everything seemed normal much of the way
Loneliness forced the issue that led him astray
Created dissensions but still a calculated risk
Before he was ensnared, away he was whisked

Strangely enough being unfaithful had its rewards
What he had to do then but returned with all his faults
Peppered with love and smothered with kisses
Welcomed back most profoundly by the bitches

Note: Make no mistake. This is humor inclined. 
A stray dog story. 'Bitches' referred to the canines!

  6. Phew... I'm glad this was a canine... If it had been a man he would be rightfully shredded to pieces.
