My Final Gift to You

Surrounded by the night, from the outside looking in.

Questions are no more, as to where he’s been.

For the shadows do not lie, the truth becomes too real.

Her world begins to turn, on a poisonous spinning wheel.

The venom seeps inside her veins, as she takes a few steps closer.

Rage is now in control, of this emotional roller-coaster.

Her life has been altered, and they must pay for what they’ve done.

For the battle deep within herself, has only just begun.

She follows their shadows, shifting throughout the house.

While clinching onto the gun, she keeps concealed beneath her blouse.

All along she knew, though seeing it is just too much.

Her eyes refuse to blink, as she witnesses every touch.

What did I do wrong, she wonders as she shakes.

Then places her finger on the trigger, as her heart begins to ache.

The tears won’t stop falling, as she hears him say that phrase.

The words I love you belong to her, and gunfire starts to blaze.

Shattering the window, and ending both of their lives.

She begins to speak out loud, stating this is for the wives.

The ones who sit at home alone, believing in a lie.

Knowing the truth all along, but caught up in deny.

Refusing to accept, that the one you love is fake.

Praying you’re in a dream, while your eyes are wide awake.

All at once she calms herself, as the night begins to roar.

Glancing through the blood stained glass, where they lay broken upon the floor.

The sparkle from his ring, sends a chill down her spine.

As she rips it off his finger, while stating this is mine.

I gave it to you under false pretenses, through vows you did not keep.

The seeds you sown are planted, and now it’s time you reap.

Although I was also in the wrong, ending your life was not my right.

As she placed the gun against her chest; she spoke her final words of the night.

I loved you more than life itself, perhaps in death you can be true.

I shall destroy what is left of my heart; it is my final gift to you
