Fallen!
She has fallen,
Failed to realize the fatalness of what he carries,
She has fallen for his body which was build up by a longtime imprisonment,
Or maybe his eyes which are hazel or half gray,
Possibly his smile where his face is covered with invisible teardrops for every year,
She has fallen for him,
As she makes his bed and washes his clothing she become irritated,
He will not work only because he can’t,
Seven years in prison has finally caught up with him,
She carries a child barely enought to walk and begans to weep,
And for years she stayed down waiting for the right time to tell him,
But she kept silent,
Knowing that she had failed to do as she vowed,
To stay faithful to ol’ boy until he was sure enough home to defend her,
But she found something magical,
Something so beautiful,
Another man had made her feel wanted and somewhat alive,
And she welcomed him between her thighs one lonely night,
She had experienced love for the very first time,
Nothing that any other man could ever provide her with,
Something that she longed for to return,
She could not stand the sight of him leaving her so she begged him to lay there,
And as she lay with him she thought,
The life ending crime she has just committed,
So she discovers the heart to tell him,
Her husband loves her with all of his heart,
He does not hit her,
He knows that she deserves better and more than he can provide,
But he is angry,
He screams out of hurt for her to tell him,
She does,
The fetus inside her belly does not belong to her husnband at all,
He is now furous,
He reached for the knife and slits her neck and then his own,
She has fallen hard and all wrong.
