Till Death Do Us Part

An intricate celtic band

Placed on her left hand.

Love circling them tightly,

Blind of the facts that are unsightly

Showing that their alliance

Didn't contain others compliance.

After the "I do's" were said

She thought she was mislead.

Seeing him touching her face

Seemed to disintegrate her grace.

Filled with anger and rage

She refused to be upstaged.

She decided the only way

To make him want to stay

Was to take the very vow

They took to mean till now.

She came upon him when he was asleep

And she was very careful to creep.

With the axe that was a gift

She took her aim and was about to lift

When he woke up and smiled

To see his beautiful bride agiled

Standing next to his frame.

She was so filled with shame

She dropped the axe before

He saw her eyes filled with gore.

The next night she tried again

And if it hadn't been

For the candle she had knocked down

She would have escaped out of town.

But she took too long

To think about what went wrong

And the house burned up in flame

It consumed both bodies with one name.

She tried to take his life

But "till death do us part" made her his wife

And wouldn't let her leave his side

As the entire town cried.
