The Jealous Wife

The jealous wife Just an ordinary day Lost in my own thoughts I think of you What happened to us? Where did it all go wrong? I take a walk into town and stop dead on my feet I see you, with a woman Kissing, like you used to kiss me In that moment, my world fell apart I knew nothing would ever be the same Somersaults churn in my stomach I feel sick, I hate you, I hate her I want to slap her for being so beautiful Enticing my husband away For destroying me, my life and my family You stood beside me At the altar in front of all we know dear Professed your undying love for me I believed every single word We were so in love then, I adored you with ever fibre But you changed Became distant and quiet Denied that anything was wrong But now I know where you really were Your mind thinking only of her You caress her long golden locks With hands meant only for me I want to rip her from your arms Tear her hair from its roots But my feet remain glued to the ground I see that it’s too late now There is no going back, no second chances You betrayed my love, my trust and my soul I cannot forgive you ever, our bond has been broken Our marriage is over, of that I am sure She can have you, your dirty washing and bad moods She can have the pleasure of wondering where you are If you mean what you say with such tenderness If you have more secrets, like she was before If you’re making a fool of her, like you did me You made me look an absolute fool Kissing another woman openly in our town Family and friends at every corner Plenty witnessing your adultery Do you have no shame, or want to get caught? Knowledge is power my love I won’t be the last one to know Of one thing you can be sure You have just lost everything dear I refuse to be made a fool out of any more

Hi Tim, Thank you... I haven't experienced this myself, I wrote it for the contest and just tried to imagine how it would feel to be in that situation. I have had a lot of feedback and seems I have convinced you and everyone else it was real! Job done :) Thank you again Tim :)
