Part 3 For 10 Years

In bed I lay
cozy and warm.
Protected from
the horrible 10
year storm.

8 Years have
passed sense we
got married.
Our love has
blessed us
with 2 beautiful
babies.

But this perfect
little life that we
share.
Holds a painful
secret untold.

We never speak of it
I don't think he even
nows.
How this perfect
little family
has a horrible
ghost.

10 years today
his wife was found
dead,
But I keep my
secret locked away
in my head.

On the night that
I remember his beautiful
dead wife.
My perfect secret
shall come to light.

I was driving back
from my past,
Trying to leave it
behind me.
When this horrible
storm came
and blinded me.

I squinted my eyes,
all i seen was white
snowflakes surrounding me.
A tiny light began to flicker.
So I jumped out my car
to get some help.

Not realizing the car
was going much to fast
for the roads that night.

She swerved to avoid me,
Her car began to loose control.
It pulled to the left,
and then to the right.
Flipping abruptly
down the hill
off into the ditch
on that horrible night.

So I ran to the car
to see if she was ok.
But the site was to terrible
to unspeakable to bare.
I jumped in my car
and fled the scene.

I didn't want my
family to know
that I just killed my
own sister.

Guilt ran over me,
and in the 2 years
she was dead.
I comforted my husband
from the pain of our
loss that night.

We then fell in love.
Out casted by my family.
How can a monster
take her sisters
husband.

Grief and sorrow
taunt me.
For the secret I keep
unable to bare.

But the worst part
about the secret I keep.
Is the fact that she comes
back every night on her anniversary.

I see her staring back at
us.
Looking in the doorway.
Anger overwhelms her.
Dishes begin to be
broke.
Screams and hollering
of her saying NO.

Then my husband
wakes with a horrible
nightmare that he never
speaks about.
But little does he know
when he looks at me
with his big blue eyes.

All I see is her reflection
staring back at me.
