Day: Jun 13, 2021

She never turned around, never even reconsidered.

I might be a lost cause, at least I am not a sinner.

The red car glistened in the sun as she balefully sped away,

Leaving me behind and knowing –

I will not live another day.

They tried to force a false confession out of me.

Did I kill him for fun or was it for jealousy?

The anger I felt turned into a ticking time bomb in my head.

The more violent they turned,

The more I saw red.

Next week’s papers will probably cover the scene –

Another body found by the Yellow Ravine.

Because I did confess, baby, saying it was all you, not me.

They offered me a head start,

Some form of clemency.

And it really was not difficult to track down the car.

I used to own it before you cheated me, after all.

“Betray me once and we are in the clear,

Betray me once more

And lose all you hold dear.”
