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!
