The Perfect Wife

I had a great time.

I thought as I tiptoed across the floor, afraid to crack the eggshells.

Feeling the warmth of the morning sun hitting my face through the curtain.

Hearing the soft sighs of sleep coming from our marital bed.

I had a great time.

Denial comforts me.

I had a great time I smiled.

As I wash the blood from between my legs and throw my ripped underwear into the trash.

I wonder what I have to make for our breakfast.

What fun we had last night

I had a great time I think as the bacon pops and tears stain my cheeks.

He wakes.

Wrapping arms around my waist and kissing me on my head.

I am a good house wife 

I think as I put his breakfast on a plate and sprinkle just the tiniest bit of antifreeze into his hot coffee

Won’t be long now.

Gosh what fun we had.
