Sarah's Eyes

Sarah was my lover  
Beautiful as morning light  
Her body was my passion  
To possess her was my right  
 
But, then she found another  
Jealousy boiled within  
I couldn’t bear to set her free
That became my sin  
 
She didn’t know she’d been found out  
An older man she knew
I followed them and saw their love  
As they began to screw  
 
To her credit she was discrete  
Since he was a married man  
She tried to keep up appearances
Until I called her hand  
 
She fucked me with a passion new  
Her body was on fire  
I told her she should go to him  
She was what he desired  
 
As she tried to argue  
I pulled my rifle down  
She froze for just a moment  
And then that awful sound
 
She stood in silence with lowered eyes  
As if to say a prayer  
Then she looked up as she fell  
In her eyes a distant stare  
 
Each night I see her eyes above  
Asking me for her life  
Where once was joy and beauty  
I'm now filled with strife
 
I’m a fugitive from justice  
Pursued by her piercing eyes  
Before I go completely mad  
I must stage my own demise
