One night amid the mist and rain
I arrived to a sight bringing twisted pain
headlights down our drive filled with grit and grain
cobbles crackling under the pressure of tires, my shifter strained
threw it in park and pressed my feet in the soaking grass
I opened the door, it creaked and groaned as I passed
unbeknownst to me that whore wasn't sleeping, she was groping his back
in bed with another, my treads hit a stutter
mouth agape and aghast, I yelled out "YOU MOTHERFUCKER!"
They both reacted, gasping, she grasped for cover, bare ass on the mattress
he went for the window, it smashed as he dashed from my lover
out on the roof he ran, my wife, panting, recovered:
"It's not what it looks like! He's my friend from class!
We were just studying, don't you trust me, Matt?"
I pondered the thought, it filled my head with such wrath
What the fuck's this bitch take me for? She's just some slut that I smashed!
My vision grew red, the rage seethed and exceeded my limits
I grabbed for the banister and grabbed out the lead where I'd hid it
wrapped the cord 'round her neck and squeezed til she was bleeding within,
I pulled harder and tighter til her breathing grew thin
the sound of her whimpers soon receded then dimmed
her saliva on my thumbs, I felt the heat of her chin
her body fell limp - "No more cheating." I grinned.
The next moment, the reality settled -
panic mixed with pain at what my insanity'd peddled.
Why'd I have to kill her? Why'd she have to cheat?
I couldn't understand the motives but I knew I had to leave
I wrapped her body up in sheets that I'd just cleaned up in the week
Threw her in a sack, tossed her with a heave into my Jeep
Slammed the hatch shut and covered her in blankets
in case some pesky cop comes searching, I'll tell him it's for my mother up in Anchorage!
Shifted in gear, nearly put my fist through the 'mirr',
still pissed as I veered as I glanced at her reflection,
my lovely lass now a piece of trash that's tied in sections
All I'm missing's the cake, I was feeling great and sitting celebrating
I didn't even notice the rate at which I'd accelerated
red and blue lights flashing behind, can't hit the brakes, can't face a felon's braces!
The engine roared as I swerved in traffic, dodging between cars
sipping bourbon as I rounded the curve unfastened
the tires started to slip and I heard the clatter
as my bumper hit the median and my face hit the wheel
the last thing I remember seeing was the grey of the steel
as I was tossed through the glass didn't know the dismay I would feel
as my shoulders and cheek slid along the road and ripped away as it peeled
tearing flesh from bone and left me groaning, split and frayed as I reeled
skewered on a tree that my 4x4 had hit, blood sprayed in the field
as I faded from consciousness I saw her laying, revealed
her skin was pale and her face was greying, congealed
I muttered out "I love you..." as I drifted away, my fate had been sealed.
