To My Dearest Lady(Part Two)

by Emily   Apr 21, 2006


This lady still is baffled
But of course she turns the page
She drops to her knees from shock
Her fear, Sadness, and Rage.

"You put on quite a display.
Both of you last night
I saw you at the lake.
After one of our fights."

"What a show I saw..
A harlequin couple indeed
A story fit for the circus
Jealousy, hate, and Greed."

"You see, I am his wife.
A wife of twenty years.
Let me tell you my story
I will bring you to tears.

"I married him at 14.
A naive girl I was
It was supposed to be magic.
It was supposed to be love."

"It wasn't a month after
I started getting abused
He'd leave home every night.
Leaving me bloody and bruised."

"He stole my family's fortune.
I was a broke, young girl.
Love was a story from heaven.
Far from the story of my world."

"Yesterday at Midnight.
I pretended to be in bed.
But I followed him out that night.
I saw you up ahead."

"After your first kiss,
I knew what I must do.
What a tragic tale.
I'm sorry it must be you."

"&& Finally he came home.
I stabbed him in the chest.
First of all I was frantic.
But it was for the best."

"I took that bloody knife.
And I cut off his hand.
You like to hold it so much?
Well, it's buried in the sand."

"Go to the same lake.
The one of last night.
Dig under the docks,
You'll find the hand, alright?"

"The watch was on that hand
Reunite them if you please,
But he's never coming back.
&& You must take your leave.

"&& If you search the lake
You'll find his body soon
And when the time is right.
I'm coming for you.

    Wow, I read both parts. What a twisted ending! Seriously, that's pretty sick. Very creative on your part though. You have to love poems that tell a story, and you chose great words to tell it. I could almost see the hand (gross I know) and the watch. Nice job.

    Wow, what a surprising continuation! You kept me wanting to read more, and before I knew it, it was the end of the poem. Great visualization. You have a fancy for telling great stories in the art of poetry... excellent!

    OMG wow! What a twisted but good ending! I mean, I feel sympathy for everyone in the story, but I can feel the anger the wife held in her letter. This was an excellent fit. Keep it up! 5/5
