i come home from work
with a bottle of wine in my hand
hoping to have a quiet night at home
a special night with my man
the lights are all on
but he's no where to be found
i walk from room to room
just looking around
i hear someone moving around in the bedroom
i walk slowly and quietly down the hall
i stop at the bedroom door
and place my ear against the wall
the bed is squeaking
someone is moaning
my eyes well up
as my mind begins groaning
i throw open the door
and flick on the light
my husband looks up at me
his eyes full of fright
the girl's looking at him in such a way
that i know she didn't know he was married
the floor and wall are splattered
with the wine i had carried
the glass bottle lays in pieces
all over the floor
i stumble backwards
out the door
i trip and stumble
my way down the hall
i collapse in tears
against the wall
he comes over and crouches down
he tries to hug me
but i push him away
i don't want him to touch me
i run to the kitchen
pull out the biggest knife
i don't know what's come over me
but i'm about to take his life
he runs into the kitchen
he doesn't expect it
i ram the knife into his heart
never again will he do this
he coughs and sputters up blood
fall backwards to the floor
i see the girl, crying
she runs out the front door
i then put the knife to my wrists
write "cheater" in my blood
watch as it pours out
in a warm, red flood
i'm dead now
lying next to him at his feet
but that's ok cuz....
never again will he cheat

wow this is an awesome write. all the way through you expressed so much emotion and pure feelings. it flowed so naturally and ended with great power and impact.
thanks for enteirng and goodlcuk -
love it.
this is written incredibly well. It flows so beautifully. the ending is intense. thats the feeling you get though, when you've been hurt, its so strong. great write. -
excellent write! i don't know how many times i've seen that on like CSI or something. probably for or five. women are so... dangerous when hurt. we lose all comtrol over ourselves and do really stupid stuff, "hell hath no fury like a woman scorned"

wow! Very well done! Sad, but great wording and great images! And all set in a story that happens to too many, I'm sure.
