Jan Allison Poet Acrostic

Notes About The Poem

Victim Or Victor

Vicious lies you spread around the village about me
I am unable to defend myself 
Can you live with what you have done
There are those who will listen to your gossip
I am innocent! I did not steal him away from you
My only crime was he preferred my love to yours

One day you may understand why he left you
Regretting those vile words you said about me

Victim or Victor – it’s not our happiness that matters
I did not mean for this to happen
Can't you understand why he choose me over you?
Those many weeks you were on holiday, you left no one to feed him
One day he crept into my home, sat by the fireside and won't leave 
Rest assured I will look after your abandoned pet cat!

Victim or Victor

The other goes to a family in Spain, they name him Juan'. Years later; Juan sends a picture of himself to his mum. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wished she also had a picture of Amal. Her husband responds, ''But they are twins. If you've seen Juan, you've seen Amal.''
