Revenge

As I stalked him quietly,
He was unaware of me.

In my hand I held a knife,
For I had caught him with my wife.

Revenge was what I had in mind
So I followed, just behind.

But when I strike, I'll let him know
Why it is I struck the blow,

I'll tell him, "I read the texts,
So breathe your last.. you're now the ex"
