Mark my words, I'm a faithful woman

(Written for a competition on here, reposted onto my account.)

Your name was Mark
And Mark my words, You were fine.
And you knew it too, of course you did.
People like you always know when they're divine.

And oh I've never been a sinner
But you made me come close
When you came close to me
But unfortunately, I had to disclose
I was married.

You still tried
You were persistent as hell
Always coming over day and night
(To "make sure I was well")
But, really, you liked the idea that you might
One day catch me with clothing askew
I'm not stupid, I knew
But I let it continue.

Why?
Maybe I liked the attention,
The way your eyes would roam my frame
I haven't felt so desired since I changed my last name.

But eventually, enough was enough
When you planted a kiss on my lips
And I had to push you away,
Because I was a good, faithful woman
And you were driving me to sin.
So I decided to never again let you in
My home.

I worried something was wrong when your daily visits ceased
After a month of their steady increase
Radio silence was concerning.

But I was determined to put you out of my head, you see?
So I didn't put any thought into where you might be,
Which proved to be a mistake.

My husband loved to hold me tight
So when I turned in for the night,
Months after you'd seemed to give up on your chase,
I thought nothing when a hand touched my waist.
Until instead of a kiss,
Placed upon the lace
Collar of my nightgown
(Where he liked to press his face)
Something else on my chest laid
something hard and cold,
Something like a blade.
I turned to look you in the eyes
Wondering how you'd dispatched my husband without my hearing his cries
Then with a kiss as you let me depart,
You drove cold steel into my heart.
