So since you guys in here don't know me. My mother and father have been married for 15 years. During this time i've watched my dad have six different mistresses, continually lie to my mother and do things that i'm not proud of. You may ask yourself why my mum stays with him, well she loves him... My family is well known in our community and too them our lives are picture perfect. My mother and father a happy loving couple but none of them see the truth that's hidden ever so neatly behind the curtains. For the last few weeks mum's been scared my dad's cheating again, i don't think he is but she's worried and been having these dreams.. anyhow.. enjoy..

A Beautiful Lie

So tell me was it worth it
To see the tears run down her face
You broke her down good this time
I hope you drown in your disgrace

She fell amongst the damsels
And died in her distress
You couldn’t see the bloodshed
But it was splatterd on her dress

It took 15 years of marriage
A bullet and a gun
To re-write all the chapters
That she wished had not begun

With the sound of breaking glass
The bullet left the gun
Smashed right through the picture frame
And embedded in her son

With swollen eyes she fell to the ground
Oh god this can’t be true
Please don’t let him die tonight
Oh god what do I do

_________________
She awakes again from the same dream
That she’s been having for days
Each time there’s a different ending
That starts in many ways

She will fall amongst the damsels
But yet she shall not cry
After all he is her husband
And she lives a beautiful lie

You worded this situation so very well! It is tough to live under these circumstances (for your Mother) and to witness this state of things (for you).

Sad, but I comprehend your wish for justice. May he "come to his senses" and listen to you!

Very good, intense write.

Revenge is never the solution though ...

Love,

Loved that last stanza...
