So why did I do it?

You want to know?

Because his seed

he liked to sow.

He'd often "work late"

and make some excuse.

Clearly he thought

that I was obtuse!

Little did he know

that I knew all along.

He thought he was smart

but boy was he wrong!

I found the receipts

and the invoices too,

and the little love messages

from someone named Sue.

"Oh darling I love you."

"Come back to me quick!"

I read them all.

They made me quite sick.

I tried to stay calm

and act like before

but this man I once loved

I came to abhor.

I thought up a scheme

to trap and ensnare.

Lipstick on his shirt.

I planted it there.

I needed to know

if he would come clean

but he lied through his teeth

like you'd never seen.

He messed with my heart,

played me like a fool,

dishonoured our vows

and that wasn't cool.

So that fateful night

when he thought I was in bed,

he was talking to her

and I just saw red.

The meat cleaver I had

hidden under the bed,

I brought down on his head

and now he is dead

and I'm not sorry!
