Love Gone Awry

Love Gone Awry

 

 

In the misty woods I cry

Pondering his strange alibi

Love has finally gone awry

 

Standing in the falling rain

His deception left its stain

He will now bear the pain

Love has finally gone awry

 

In my mind I seek revenge

My broken heart, I must avenge

His masculine form will soon cringe

Love has finally gone awry

 

He will not know I’m there

Only that his lungs crave air

I’ll behold his dead stare

Love has finally gone awry

 

He will pled; he will scream

Camera’s eye will record scheme

I’m lost in my demonic dream

Love has finally gone awry

 

Darkest evil fills my soul

No apologies will console

Buried alive is my evil goal

Love has finally gone awry

 

Oh this must be a dream

He discovered my evil scheme

My eyes open and I scream

Love has finally gone awry

 

The love I wished to wrong

Sings in own evil song

Metal tank will prolong

Love has finally gone awry

 

Oh my beautiful darling Beth

How could you plan my death?

Ponder this until your last breath

Love has finally gone awry

 

Twisted and turned all around

I’m buried in the cold dark ground

My scheme comes full circle round

Love has finally gone awry

Author's Note

The dark side of love. What can happen when revenge darkens the heart. To seek revenge is to bury the soul.

Whoa! Revenge eats at your heart and can consume you in more ways than one. Excellent nasty little twist, poor Beth. You've hit the zejel form right out of the park with this ride on the dark side, Nancy. Thanks for entering the challenge.
