Madness replies

First poem, still trying hard.

Tall, beautiful and slender

Many wish they were her

Perfect in every feature

From looks to books

Even from friends to family

She is the embodiment of a “perfect” woman

 

She has a family

A family of 3

Husband and twins

As perfect as thee

But in their humble abode

Oh so she thought was safe

Hid a sinister grin

Lurking within their grace

 

Many knew of her story

Not many of her tale

A tale where only she knows

And a tale where only she shows

To the people who were as cunning

As the twisted vines entwining bodies

 

Through the looking glass she sees

A perfect husband at ease

In his comfortable chair

Oh so he laid

Until death struck him on his head

 

Madness, she thought

Oh what have I done?

Simon and Maddie will find out

That daddy has taken a break

A break from us

Into a broken bed without its flowers

But flowers it shall have

 

Simon and Maddie oh so cheery

Were in their room while mommy was busy

Footsteps echoed

The door creaked

With a swift cut from the gardener’s sheers

Wilted, she held

The flowers of their future

 

She called out:

Madness! Madness!

What have I done?

Madness replies:

What you should've since the day you were born
