It was when she first felt that maybe he <br />no longer loved her the way she wanted, <br />that she stopped loving him the way she had. <br />He had no idea that things had changed between them <br />only barely noticing anything was wrong at all; <br />buying her some chocolates and lovely flowers, <br />hoping any problems could thereby be resolved. <br />He whispered in her anxious ear <br />sweet nothings like… <br />I love you more than life itself… <br />but that’s not what she heard <br />as she turned <br />and fired six times into his unprotected chest <br />in a desperate attempt to kill her feelings <br />and absolve herself of any guilt.... <br /> <br />2008 © TS<br /><br />Ted Sheridan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/affaire-d-honneur/
