The Diary:

He found her diary while she was out one day Reading the entries made him vexed He saw a lover she secretly concealed And with revenge he decided, she will pay He read on and this is what the diary had to say Dear Diary today he bought me flowers He took me out to dinner Back at the house we had champagne Then he made love to me for hours Dear diary my husband and I had a fight He said hurtful things and said, “Watch it my dear” He lunged at me in a threatening manner My body shook in uncontrollable fear Dear diary he looked at me in that way That makes me feel… wanted He took me out and Like a rare diamond, I was flaunted Dear diary my husband, oh my husband The evil man, he said the most horrible thing Saying the food I cooked was awful As if I am serving a king Dear diary his soft gentle hand was… Caressing my inner thighs He makes me weak, I love him so His body hypnotises my eyes He ripped the book in a rage And threw it in the bin As he paced up and down Not noticing on the floor one diary page He went upstairs and wired the shower To give her an electric shock She’ll be home soon he thought And it will be over in an hour She came home and switched on the shower Singing while she got undressed Her voice enflamed his jealous thoughts As he gritted his teeth in detest. Then he heard a short loud scream That brought chills to his bones And found her dead in the shower Of their quiet secluded home. He went satisfied in to the kitchen And prepared a cup of tea When he noticed stuck under his shoe A page from his wife’s diary Dear diary some times my husband is like another man When he treats me like a woman that’s what I love and adore But sometimes my husband upsets me And I don’t know whether I love him or hate him more.

I certainly hope no one finds his diary because having to live with his conscience would be punishment enough.. You are so awesome at twisting thoughts Sid, love Wilma
