The Black Widow.

The voice in her head

It said that he was dead

The image in her mind

So scared what she would find

The truth in her heart

She knew from the start

At some point she would kill him.

Very nice twist at the end. I thought of it as an abused widow killing her deceased husband to save herself. c: I liked the lines.

[Paul Bell]

Think she just liked collecting the insurance money.

Of curse, money can make people be evil.

Why I hate the Tax man.

[Mrudula Rani]

That's the sum and substance of a relationship ( nature of the beast) that serves only the heedless. You packed tragedy, terror and sorrow as well in a short, superb poem, Paul.

[Paul Bell]

Glad I never met her.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

i see this from a figurative standpoint...the woman is so filled with pain from the past that she destroys hearts now rather than be destroyed herself...
she doesn't want to do it...but she knows she will...she has conscience.

Her past is a cruel one.
