He’s still out of town, the excuses are endless
She comes home tonight to a house gone sad
The calls have dwindled, his work’s so important
He’s making it clear that their magic’s long fled…
~
He served up papers, no, they can’t work things out
Says she’s stupid and clumsy and holding him back
He’s found someone better, a beauty with money
And breeding and class and whatever she lacks…
~
She glimpses her face in the mirror on the wall
She’s older, no wiser, but calm and resigned
To finish what he started when he broke their vows
She hardly finds herself in the reflection at all…
~
She’s weary of trying and feeling so worthless
He’s forced her to take a hard look at their life
If he thinks she’ll accept it, he’s sadly mistaken
There’s only one question. ย A gun or a knife?

Something to consider, less mess… I always thought death by icicle would be the perfect crime. Then the evidence could just melt away ๐

Boom! I think Agatha Christie did the icicle as a murder weapon thing! It’s brilliant! I would do the knife, it’s untraceable and if you kill him on a tile surface, like in the bathroom, cleanup is easy peasy. And…..Kevin is a bad influence on both of us!

Haha! I often wonder what the friends and families of horror and crime writers feel about their loved one’s twisted mind! I guess they get used it!
