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
