I Thought I’d Said Goodbye

By: Fee

Under a full moon and a heavy fog, I’d buried her

Buried her deep along with my bitter hurt

In the old, long-forgotten cemetery in the woods

Where no ears heard the scrape of shovel on dirt

You see, I came back early to surprize her

The surprize that night was all fell on me

Expecting warm embraces and desire, instead

Anger turned to rage at the sight I didn’t want to see

Red roses on the coffee, table I knew I didn’t send

An empty wine bottle and her negligee I did find

Two tell-tale glasses in the sink, one was lipstick stained

My last question answered in the note he left behind

I could hear her in the shower as I read her lover’s note

The knife I held allowed her just one feral scream

As I plunged it through her breast again and again

I thought would end this fateful dream

So that brings you up to date to what occurred

Up to this moment amongst the headstones

I can’t lie

But…when I patted down the last shovel of dirt

When her wedding ringed hand made an appearance

I screamed and screamed you see…I thought I’d said goodbye!
