Extended Family Betrayal

In the quiet desert of One Street Town,
The marshal returns, his expression worn down.
His star badge shines in the dimming light,
As he heads home to escape the night.

But under his roof, a twist unfolds,
Where secrets and betrayals quietly mould.
Through a window's view, a scene so stark,
His ex-wife's son kisses his wife's daughter in the dark.

Rage ignites like wildfire, fierce and wild,
He storms inside, a storm unbridled.
Voices clash, sharp as thunder's roar,
Words of anger pierce through the core.

His hand rises, fury commands,
Strikes down his son with shaking hands.
Regret floods in, too late to abate,
Violence's echo seals a tragic fate.

The sun bows to twilight, the argument ebbs,
Each family member, in sorrow, now webs.
A night on the job, the marshal departs,
Leaves behind turmoil, and broken hearts.

He returns in the shadows, slips into bed,
Unseen, unheard, his thoughts like lead.
The house, unaware, of his weary return,
Quiet in darkness, with secrets to burn.

He rises in silence, his heart a dull thrum,
Still raw from the battles, still numb from the sum.
The echoes of arguments, fierce and bright,
Have left a chill shadow, a frost in the night.

Through the dim hallway, he moves with care,
The weight of the world, a burden to bear.
But as he approaches, a sight stops him cold,
A tableau of betrayal, in morning's first gold.

On bended knee, she performs an unspeakable act,
A sight that would make even the sternest heart crack.
The marshal's wife, with eyes full of lust,
Takes in her mouth, what was once a mere bust.

The ex-wife's son, now a man,
Feels the warmth of a woman's hand.
He was raised by the marshal, since five,
Now, at twelve, he's brought back to life.

The wife, possessed, with a hunger untamed,
Sucks and slurps, with no shame or concern.
The ex-wife's son, now the object of her affection,
Lost in the moment, surrenders to the sensation.

The marshal watches, his heart heavy with pain,
A silent scream, as he observes the scene in vain.
His love, his wife, with a past lover’s son,
Their actions, a twisted dance, has just begun.

The ex-wife's son, empowered and in control,
Gives into the moment, takes the role.
The wife, with no regrets, swallows him whole,
In this act of intimacy, they both have a goal.

The marshal's heart, shattered in silent screams,
Bears witness to these forbidden dreams.
A sight he'll never forget, this brutal truth,
His wife, swallowing his ex-wife's son's youth.

Anger ignites, but so does despair,
For the bonds of his family, now fragile and bare.
The arguments past seem distant and small,
In the wake of this horror, this ultimate fall.

He staggers back, his spirit ripped apart,
Silent like thunder, with a shattered heart.
No words can convey the depth of his sorrow,
In this dawn of betrayal, dreading tomorrow.

A man once so strong, now fragile and meek,
With love turned to ashes, too stunned to speak.
In the silence that follows, only pain's bitter strain,
As the marshal faces this unbearable stain.
