A Crime of Passion

A lover betrayed by his love , in an impulsive decision , decides to end her life . But this is not a story about how he killed her , rather this is a story of how he decided to kill her.

Deception thrust a knife
into the heart of trust.
It bled to death
and took faith with it.

Grief then in an evil ploy
overthrew happiness and joy,
anger and vengeance
came in for a meet.

Then they committed high treason
kidnapped logic and reason,
suppressed the weak protests
of fear, sense and wit.

Together they sat then, to confer,
and all agreed on 'Death to her'
and vengeance passed the order
'So be it' !!

Powerful and vivid thought flow.

I felt you could end the poem with yet more wording after the decision of killing her. May be like a confirmation on her death or like he goes to kill her and does it. I meant the feel of execution of the conclusion or judgment could have been added.

This still looks perfect.
A wonderful write. Thanks for sharing...

"Deception thrust a knife

For me this line says it all..a knife through the heart. To me "death to her" means a letting go in the mind, body, spirit... xx Great yet painful write..xx

A powerful poem of passion and anger. Love can lead us in many directions. We hope never to death. A strong story to a scary poem of being disappointed in love. A excellent poem.
