A Lovers Deceit

She sat on the bench letting the breeze flow by,
Her hair swept away like a feather in the sky.

Her thoughts were jumbled in the tranquility of time,
surrendering her thoughts to unimaginable lie.

Peaceful surrounding masked a horrible array,
a tear drop fallen into the hands painted gray.

Alone in the world she now sat on the bench,
Wishfully thinking she could take it all back.

With the movement of her finger the gun did go off,
leaving him laying on the floor full of blood.

She screamed in horror while death fell upon noon,
What had she just done her life now full of gloom.

For now she had taken his life on this dreadful day,
The other man looked over and said you're going to pay.

60 years old now and she still remembers that May
For that was the last time she would see his face.

He set her mind free made her body feel eased,
Filled her heart with love, gave her anything she pleased.

She finally found her one and only wish
A man alone, sitting on this bench.

God gave her angel but then took it all away,
Imprisoned by paper thirty-five years to the day.

When her husband walked in and found her
entangled in another mans embrace.

His mind went blank, fury, and rage,
With a swoosh of his hand her face felt pain.

His eyes were of death and toward the other man.
She scurried downstairs and grabbed the gun.

Aimed at the first man she had onces loved,
Her finger then slipped as she hit the wrong one.

Her Love now laying on the carpet full of blood,
Imprisoned once more by the paper she had signed.

The police came quickly and asked why.
The women in tears said the man on the floor,

He broke in our house held my husband and I up;
Said give him money or he'll blow us apart.

The police offer then bowed his head towards us,
and that was the last time I ever made love.

So this is why her thoughts are jumbled,
Remembering the tranquility of time
surrendering her thoughts to unimaginable lie......
