Poetry 2

This is my second piece of poetry and I'm not sure if it makes sense but I really hope it does. It is about a husband/wife murdering the wife/husband because they deceived the other through adultery. 


Hoodwinked

When you came home, you were bleeding.
When I asked you, you kept fibbing.
When I fed you, you weren't hungry.
When I loved you, you turned angry.
What did I do? Did I hurt you?
Was it me? Was I too crazy for you?
Do you love me? Do you still?
Please, sweetheart, would you take this pill?
You were profoundly sick in bed one day.
I stroked your hair and then I would say,
that you were my heart; that you were my world,
if you deceive me again, your world will unfurl,
without me, my love and my nurturing ways,
and you will be killed in a couple of days.
