No title yet...

Teardrops are falling from a face so fair,
The sight so painful she can't even bear,
To see him dying, and just laying there.

He looks into her eyes,
As he slowly dies,
And remembers a time without the lies.

He looks away as the pain shoots through,
His voice breaks as he whispers "I love you",
He begins to fade with Death's dew.

She screams out in agony and closes her eyes,
The tears roll down as she remembers her lies,
She told him he was her one and only,
But didn't expect for her duplicity to have him die.

Tears flood the floor,
And mingle with blood that came from the core,
Her voice cracks as she whispers "I loved you more".

The lie slips out as the truth sets in,
She looks up into the face of her sin,
Realizing from the pain within.

Her lover stands, as her love fell,
And she knows she's damned him to hell,
For the pain she feel is for the love she lost,
And not for the man standing alive and well.

Her husband dying in her arms,
And her lover the one that had done him harm,
She knows now why her husband was unarmed.

Death smiles as she kisses his face,
And promises to take him away from this place,
The tears fade to dew, as he falls into Death's embrace.

    I agree with Rachael on changing "fare" to "fair" because "fare" is like money as in "airplane fare." My other suggestion is whenever you use quotations whether, it's in a poem or a story, you always put the comma or period inside of the quotations, not outside.

    5/5

    Moving and effective. My only suggestion is that I believe you intended to use the homophone "FAIR", rather than "FARE" at the end ofthe 1st line.
