In Spite Of You

A woman's cheating husband gets what he deserves?

In the dark, she waits.
Straight lines have contorted
her once beautiful face.
He lies, he cheats!
Pure rage she does taste.
In the dark, she waits...
and she waits.

In the late hour,
her husband arrives.
Shoving off his coat,
putting his briefcase aside.
Unaware of his wife's presence,
he quickly strides.
Into the sharp end of a knife,
his body collides.

As he grasps
finding empty air,
she watches as he falls to the floor.
He won't be cheating on me anymore!
His eyes search her face,
scared and unsure.
His life slowly fades,
his expression
demure.

Breathing heavy, she looks down
at her husband's lifeless body.
She noticed something next to him,
folded and bloody.

It was a photo of a man
crossing the street.
A red X crossed over him,
stating 'mission complete'

Her hands began to shake,
her head filled with strife.
"I thought you didn't love me! Now I've taken your life!"
Unbelievable despair overcomes,
as she drops the knife.
What of such irony,
to be an assassin's wife.
