The Last Affair

I was angry.
So hurt.
Betrayed.
Yet, I stayed.
I gave you my heart
Still, you played.
You didn't lose sleep.
You weren't afraid.
Between her legs,
In our bed..
you laid.
Her Nissan was parked
a block away.
I came home from work
early that day.
Tired and sweaty,
But my eyes worked fine,
The man she had traveled to meet
was mine. I thought it over.
Over and over in my mind.
Part of me wanted to pretend I was blind. I longed to turn a deaf ear to her moans and whines. I wished to never have read in between the lines.
Heavy tears welled up in my eyes,
my broken heart beated offbeat.
This time baby ,you chose the wrong woman to mistreat.
I slid my key in the lock...
quick, quiet and discreet.
While you were busy,
rocking, and rolling between the sheets.
I took the picture off the mantle,
the one that covered your safe,
no sense in all this good money
going to waste.
I twisted in the combo, and remembered your face.
Damn, I'm sure going to miss this place.
I heard you yell out in pleasure, 'Oh Yessss!'
I laughed 'Oh Yes baby indeed', as I quickly planned my next offense.
Murder in the 1rst Degree.
I tiptoed quickly through the house
while the 2 of you made sweet love,
I tiptoed to the kitchen cabinet,
where I found my gloves.
On the back porch is where I found the gasoline. I gritted my teeth in anger at her high pitched scream.
I spilled gas all over the kitchen,
and all up the hall.
I spilled it on the couches
 and all over the walls.
I spilled it on your recliner and the rest of the chairs.
I was especially careful spilling it all over the stairs.
I cried my very last tears as I walked to the door. With gas steadily splashing onto the floor.
I lit a book of matches and set everything aflame.
It wasn't me, it was you
 who played this dangerous game.
I shut the door and locked it,
and hugged my bag tight.
With your life insurance money,
I would surely be alright.
I walked up the sidewalk with my feet, quick and light. Careful to look casual, and staying out of sight.
I sat on her Nissan, a block away.
And watched the house give clouds of black and gray.
The firetruck pulled in to try and save the day. I crossed my fingers and hoped that they were too late.
Our house went fully up in flames, burning bright in the night.
Oh why baby, why couldn't you just do right?
I did all I could to keep you happy, but you just had to switch. Look  at you now, burned to a crisp, you and your side bitch.
They calmed the fire and discovered you. 2 body bags. Funny enough, I didn't feel the least bit bad.  
Approaching the house,I screamed and cried when they gave me the news.
 They said you died beforeyou burned from inhaling the fumes.
I put on such a good show, a sad and lonely widow.
All dressed up in sorrow, just waiting for tomorrow.
No open casket, I can't bear it. Cremation please.
I threw your ashes in the wind so I could set you free.
