I once knew a bride <br /> who on the day she died, <br />told her groom her love was untrue. <br /> <br />She had been with another, <br /> who had become her lover, <br />now the groom would no longer do. <br /> <br />She looked into his eyes, <br /> and should have been more wise, <br />as the angry fire in them grew. <br /> <br />She continued to say, <br /> how her lover touched her in a way <br />the groom could never do. <br /> <br />He wanted to shout <br /> and thrash her about, <br />but his temper he kept cool <br /> <br />He demanded to know, <br /> this others face she must show. <br />God how he had been a fool. <br /> <br />She lead him to the place, <br /> to show her lovers face. <br />What she found blew her mind. <br /> <br />He had taken another <br /> to be his lover. <br />This wasn't what she expected to find. <br /> <br />Her sister in his bed. <br /> Now her legs felt like lead, <br />this wasn't how it was supposed to be. <br /> <br />The groom stood in his place, <br /> and spat in her face, <br /> 'How dare you hurt me! ' <br /> <br />He turned to walk away <br /> with nothing left to say, <br />and she fell to her knees and begged. <br /> <br />His heart had been crushed, <br /> for a moment of lust, <br />and now she clung to his leg. <br /> <br />He pushed her away <br /> and left her there to stay, <br />staring her lost dream in the eyes. <br /> <br />This was the day <br /> she took her life away, <br />the story behind her demise. <br /> <br />'What a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive.'<br /><br />Natasha Bolling<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/web-of-lies-5/
