A Woman Scorned



It’s raining in my heart. I never thought that anyone could tear us apart. I thought we’d walk the road of life together. I thought we’d stay in love forever.

 Instead, you broke my trust and pursued another. In my wildest dreams,I would never think you’d take on a new lover. You denied the indiscretion. I decided to keep quiet and pay more attention.

 I followed you from work that evening. You thought I didn’t know of your plan to deceive me. You walked into her home as though you owned it. I saw you lay on her bed while she gave you head. I came up behind her. You didn’t even notice I pulled out my gun. In a split second her life is undone.  

To watch the look on your face Is an image I could never erase. I put my pistol in your mouth I released a bullet and laid you out.  

Hell has no fury like a woman scorned. I’m waiting for you at the gates of hell and opening the door.  I’ll torment you forever more. Never disrespect a lady over a whore.

    I'm going to assume this isn't autobiographical lest it also fall prey as an admission and evidence as well. :-P If I've learned anything over my 61-years above ground it is to never scorn a good woman. How I wish that I had never scorned the good women I had. The lesson and blessing for me is that, as a result of those scorns I'd inflicted as a selfish young boy, I now resent the scorn of anyone. I have deep regrets for the pain I've caused - DEEP regrets. Women are a treasure. Without them men would be incomplete. We've so many lessons to glean from one another, men and women alike. This is a telling, profound piece. Thank you for your heart.
