My Wrath

Fury

Spread through my veins

Electrical bursts

I could not contain

A red haze

Was all I saw

My heart pounding

In my chest

Rage I could not

Withdraw

I walked through the crowd

Unseeing

I could feel their eyes on me

Unfeeling

I didn't care what they thought

Two-timing

My venomous orbs

Found the cause

Of my wrath

There with his mates

At the corner bar

Acting like a superstar

Laughing, flirting, talking

Having a good ole time

While I, at home

Scrubbing grime

Bathing the kids

No answer to the question

"Where's daddy?"

At dinner time

I grabbed him by the arm

To turn him around

I glared into his face

"Say goodnight to your children, now!"

It wouldn't be so bad

If it was here

and there

But every night

Was a bit severe

I wondered

What I was doing wrong

Am I not loving enough?

Cleaning enough?

Sensual enough?

Maybe it was all those things

Maybe it was just him

That night I didn't care

About his reasons

For not being there

To kiss his children

Goodnight

All I wanted was for him

To be home that night

As we walked home together

I could no longer hold it in

The rage, the wrath, the fury

Would not stay within

I screamed at the top of my lungs

"I hope that place catches on fire!"

"I hope that place catches on fire!"

"I hope that place catches on fire!"

In the morning I awoke

To the smell of lingering smoke

I looked out of my window

And found

That the place had burned down

To the ground.
