Headstone!

She knelt by the dark grey  marble headstone

once again on the anniversary

of the day she had happily buried her husband

six feet down in the ground

eight years since she had caused his demise

for a man she did despise!

 

As the widow gloated behind a false facade

the same figure watched

behind her the deceased husband stood

turning could not see him

thinking once again how good and thrilling

never a suspected killing!

 

No idea her good life would come to an end

as supernatural forces gathered

this time he followed her back to a plush car

the long dead husband was back

what had changed to allow him the power

to be back at this hour!

 

Angry sat next to the wife who murdered him

driven back to his own home

familiar items brought back good memories

from when he lived here

now a ghost haunting the house he loved

before down the stairs shoved!

 

Whether there is a heaven or a place called hell

he had prayed so very hard

from a dark pitiless limbo it changed to hope

now with a new man argued

started by the woman who had meant so much

now he would loath to touch!

 

****** to the floor berating of him was bored

scrambling to her feet ran

up those familiar stairs shouting more abuse

pursued by this enraged man

like a replay saw her violent death as she fell

her neck broken he could tell!

 

Instantly was at peace free no longer in turmoil

a tunnel so bright he could see

looking down at her lifeless body he passed on

but a faceless evil took her soul

engulfing it for that overdue journey to hell

righteousness had created this spell!

 

Jutsice it seems had at last been done!
