Revenge Story

High school sweethearts
They knew each other well
A heady romance that started
Beyond the afternoon bell
 
Groping, traveling hands
And lips that tasted sweet
They soon had passionate sessions
That played on repeat between the sheets
 
Both each other’s firsts
They vowed to stay together
Nothing could tear them apart
There wasn’t a storm they couldn’t weather
 
Marriage came first
Then they were a small family of four
But by the time the last could walk
He already found himself a whore
 
It’s hard to feel passion
When you’re up all night feeding babies
Every time he asked for loving
She’d look down and quietly say maybe
 
Her skin was stretched and sagging  
Beyond what she imagined was possible
To feel beautiful anymore
Was nearly impossible
 
So, he took up with a tramp
Said he had to get his fill
Of new sexual escapades
Because at home he was getting nil
 
One session led to another
And soon for the pleasure he was hooked
But he still expected her to service
So each night for him she would cook
 
She still dreamt that someday
He would return to her favors
Instead of the strange buffet he now had
With tastes of many different flavors
 
He soon became depraved
And would take her without consent
All the loving was gone
His assaults always seemed hell bent
 
No longer was she his prize
Nor was he her dashing prince
She began to think up schemes
Where the police wouldn’t find her prints
 
She decided she wouldn’t kill him
But she wanted to see him squirm
So she devised an evil plan
His love no longer her concern  
 
The kids were now grown
She had a lot of time to herself
She consulted many experts
She found just the right help
 
She began to slowly change
Right before his eyes
Exercising and wearing makeup
She started getting whistles from other guys
 
He was caught off guard
His wife was no longer plain
He started to treat her better
He became loving once again
 
They began to go on dates
They would dance into the night
How could he not have seen this in her
His wife’s beauty now shone so bright
 
He began to profess his love
Not realizing her devious plan
He never had a clue
That she’d been sleeping with another man
 
Her gym instructor was handsome
So sexy and so sweet
His manner was very charming
He swept her off her feet
 
They began a torrid affair
He knew she was with another
But little did he know
Her husband was his brother
 
The plan was put in motion
She set it up earlier in the day
To let her know when her husband
Would soon be on his way
 
His secretary called
Said her husband was headed home
It was an hour drive
So she made sure she called him on the phone
 
She told him she had a fantasy
She wanted him to break in and wear a mask
He was not expecting this
But said he’d gladly do as she asked
 
Her lover was in her bed
She invited him hours before
She had to get this over with
She couldn’t take anymore
 
She pretended to sleep
In her lover’s virile arms
She finally felt safe
And protected from all harm
 
The break in went smoothly
The husband made a lot of noise
Her lover leapt out of bed
Neither men realizing that they were part of her evil ploy
 
As her husband came through the door
The instructor grabbed his gun
The husband never saw it coming
He had no time to run
 
One shot was all it took
He lay crumpled on the floor
The instructor took off her husband’s mask
Then recoiled in horror
 
He turned to the wife
He couldn’t believe what he had done
His hands were still shaking
He was still holding the gun
 
She began to smile
She couldn’t help the laughter in her eyes
What would happen next
Came as a complete surprise
 
He turned the gun on himself
His agony was much to much
She began to scream
It was her heart she began to clutch
 
She had a moment of clarity
She decided she wasn’t going to end up dead
So she pulled herself together
But at what cost did she get her revenge
 
Her lover and her husband
Both dead on the floor
Both turned out to be a casualty
Of a marriage-long war
 
The moral of the story
I guess is to take nothing for granted
Or you’re going to get stuck
With the mess that you’ve been handed
