She looked intently at the gold band
on her long bony finger
playing with it nervously exposing
dried blood underneath
quickly she headed to the rest room
remnants left of the groom!
Watching blood swirl down the sink
was satisfying to observe
she had loathed his very existence
remembering his body
was in the car boot she must leave
euphoria did not grieve!
Calmly walked through that busy bar
nobody noticed her pass
got in the motor now set on her course
to a lonely spot chosen
how did she get into this sordid mess
began to feel the stress!
Seemed a nice guy for a short while
then started his cheating
beating her up virtually every night
on this day went too far
said she was in the way so had to die
their marriage being a lie!
This attack forced her into the kitchen
avoiding the first blow
by the sink his hands around her throat
grasping a knife thrust it in
anger welled twisted the serrated blade
upon the table splayed!
Thought of pleading self-defence at first
one big problem with that
had been slowly poisoning him for weeks
one choice to disappear
she had made plans her new man waited
another identity created!
Into the wilderness they went one dead one reborn!
