Sucker Punch

Simple-Man87

The phone rings

Boss cancels last meeting

In time to surprise my wife

On the freeway speeding.

Stopped at the store

She'll love the roses

Picturing her on the bed

Performing sexy poses.

The time has come 

I open the front door

And I see another mans clothes

Lying on the floor.

My blood boils over

As does my temper

Opening my heart

For the Devil to enter.

My mind goes blank

Over in a second

Easy to give in 

When the hand of Temptation beckons.

As the smoke clears

And the casings lie cool

I step over the blood

That begins to pool.

No attention to him

Over to her, I walk

I'll never forget her face

Right before the final shot.

Like paint on a canvas

The splatter stained the wall

Of all the work I've done

I like this one most of all.

Feeling a familiar feeling

My mind comes back to me

Taking a deep breath

I snap back to reality.

Instead, I pick up their clothes

Fold them on the couch

Set my ring on the table

And walk out.....

    You guys are very kind. Thank you. I know it's simple, I don't use the big words some of these other people do, you are all so talented. But I try.

    • Simple-Man87

      That's kind of you to say. I just don't have any confidence.

      Whoa, this was intense. The braver man walked out the door! Great rendering of powerful emotions.
