An Affair of the Heart

say this for Justine though sweet she often turns mean Justine wasn't keen on men who might misuse her she kept track of where they were worked the bar and grill at the bottom of West Hill bears beer, food and bills while avoiding groping hands inappropriate demands brimming with desire education to acquire her words rained fire on weak lover wannabes her mind was set on degrees good with song and hype Nate was the most charming type many hearts he'd swiped seasonal sailor he be from the isle of Wannasea girl as fine as she Nate thought he would never see approached cautiously in short few summer months time into Justine's arms he'd climbed not quite thinking straight her plans were going to wait mind too full of Nate with defenses gone astray she’s in the family way when Nate got the news off to his island he flew to wife with child due now Justine was sore perplexed how she'd let her life get wrecked thinking turned less straight future plans will have to wait mind's filled up with hate she'd let her defenses down burning anger what she'd found she began to stew vengeful thoughts began to brew she found Nate's venue he was sailing out of Kent on the train to Kent she went with bollock dagger hid in purse she did stagger as vengeance drags her to the pier Nate's boat resides where in the shadows she hides can see in Nate's eyes he's caught fully by surprise when Justine he spies too hastily Nate exclaims "but baby, I can explain" just left of sternum Justine plunges dagger in "to hell return him" hot revenge served a la carte Justine punctures Nate's cold heart now if truth be told Justine pocketed Nate's billfold rushed away quite bold to a place I will not say why don’t we leave it that way
