Unfaithful
By: Holly Hackman
As the scythe laid still
The blood still pour
Let me start at the beginning of this story
I Elizabeth and him Corey
We had many great times in that house
There was even a cute little mouse
We had so much fun
Until that unfaithful deed was done
He was such a loyal sir
Until he decided to lay with her
I walked in on them in a passionate embrace
He was such a disgrace
And her... her
She was a friend now a foe
I thought all it would take was one fatal blow
I stormed out before he could say a thing
My ears began to ring
I walked to the shed
Where I reached over head
I pulled back a scythe
Which their throats I would slit
How this scythe was once used to cut mace
It would now be used for their demise
I return my plan ready to unfold
I asked have you laid with her
I had hidden the scythe in the hall
He looked as though he was trying to recall
She spoke up and said yes
I had already taken that guess
I didn’t want it to be true
I just wish that I had knew
That he had no love for me
I thought how I would be hung from a tree
I left the room
Little did they know of their inevitable doom
I returned the scythe in hand
I drew back the scythe
I swung and their heads fell back
I dropped the scythe
As the scythe laid still
The blood still pour
They are now nevermore
