Here it is, the final instalment in the three part series. The first two poems, 'Foolish Man' and 'Plotting Revenge' are in here somewhere...

I challenge you to answer
The question on the stage
To her you were the novel of life
To you she was but a page

Her breath sticks in her throat
Pretending the truth isn’t real
For now we all see the snake
And betrayal is all she can feel

The words slip out of my mouth again
You growl, knowing I have won
For my proof is undeniable
Your lies begin to come undone

Looking away you answer yes
And finally her tears fall
You try in vain to comfort her
When you had caused it all

She screams at you to leave her house
Never again will she see your face
Bow your head and look away
Filled with shame and disgrace

The glance I get as you leave us
Is filled with hatred, so vile
I merely curtsy in victory
And give you a prideful smile

When her tears finally stop she glances back
At the picture that saved her life
Such a happy family
You, your son, and your wife

I loved this part! The comparison of a book is awesome, really not what I thought would happen...

The ending was amazing too, I didn't think THAT would happen. In fact I wasn't sure what would happen but this was a deffinate suprise. I enjoyed reading this poem though.

Thanks for sharing!

i really like this poem out of the three and i also like the book comparison because i like to read. i really didn't expect that he would have a wife and a son though
