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.
