A wet red couch
A velvet that began to harden
The papers were everywhere
A mess was the entire place

There lay a figure
On the floor of red oak
Shards of glass kept
Her company while she cried

It had been sudden
A flurry of action everywhere
She hadn't see his face
And it was just as well

Her husband had left her
Abandoned would be the word
After days of crying
What greeted her but shame

She struggled now
To grasp the vine
To live, to live a life
Than to die a shameful death

Red covered all
And wet it was too
She stopped crying
As pain sent her away.
