Poem
Assia's victory over Sylvia And her existence with Ted Was bitter-sweet There was no fairytale ending Her Prince grew discontent with her Like he had with Sylvia Though her womb bore Him a daughter to cherish No wedding bells would ring Just reminding Assia again That Ted's heart really Belonged to Sylvia Despite all her trickery She realized that she never Really had Ted's love Suffering from her sinister sin Haunted by Sylvia's memory And rejected by the man she worshipped She decided to kiss Ted goodbye forever Just like Sylvia had done years before Laying a mattress down on the kitchen floor Then sealing the kitchen doors and windows Dissolving some sleeping pills In whiskey for herself Turning the gas stove on Then laid down next to She and Ted's daughter, Shura Until they took their final breath Bringing a fateful end to her life And that of her daughter's What an ironic ending Like something out of a novel That the vixen who once took so Much happiness away from Sylvia Would find herself alone And filled with despair Ending her life in a nearly identical manner Proving that we always pay for our sins eventually No one can escape their day of judgment Our dirty deeds always follow us to the grave As Assia discovered too well Sylvia lost Ted in life But, through her vengeance She won him back in death Getting her justice And fighting back The way she could not Find the strength to do When she was alive Sylvia's vengeance expanded For when people speak the name Assia It is only in disgust For all she is remembered as is The woman who wrecked Ted and Sylvia's marriage But, Sylvia enjoys success from beyond the grave For Ted made sure that her Beautiful works of poetry were published Immortalizing Sylvia's genius forever Finally giving her the happiness That escaped her in life So she could rest peacefully Until the day They would be together again
