Cheats

You said you would never hurt me

Promises I took to heart

and I framed us that day.

While you were cheating on me

I was making us dinner

Your favorite.

It was tasty,

even if I ate it alone.

You accidentally left your phone at home.

We were supposed to be forever,

Unfortunately Stacy doesn't think so

By the way she texted "I love you"

I didn't want to pry but

it was tempting.

I found out while I was having a meal for one

You were having it for two.

You came home

pretending you weren't

a *****

Good news;

I finally found a use

for our wedding knife.

I didn't want you to die

but it was tempting.

I couldn't stand the site

of lipstick on your collar.

I framed the other woman that night.

And The stain on your shirt grows

until your clothes are red.

To think you can be handsome

even though you're dead.

A laugh blisters up my throat

as I text you "I love you."

Inspired by "Secret" The Pierces

This was an experiment.
