I was seated in a quiet glade
As the sun went down,
I hoped this thoughts would fade

The events that took place within day
Left me staggering and broken
May's infidelity I couldn't weigh

As I started my walk home
The wind whispered an option
But first I want her to talk about Jerome

In the living room, we rattled
Words collided with egos
I raged

The adrenaline rush flashed back
The wise words of the wind
Before the attack, my eyes went black

"See you in wonderland"
The mantra
As I stabbed her, blood dripped through my hand.

When my eyes opened,
I saw the horror
I prayed it was a dream or an omen

It was not, it was murder
I began to sob
My situation was dire

In my misery,
I heard a voice say "go with her"
"You're right " I said bitterly

I felt a stab would be quick and benign
So I doused our house in gasoline
As it lit, I still hoped for a sign

That this was all a dream,
I loved May
As my flesh burnt, I still hoped for a gleam.
