I’d been happily married for twenty years
Until I met a beautiful young graduate student,
Who had been a patient of mine.
I couldn’t help myself. She was so beautiful.
And I fell hopelessly in love with her.
After a few months I decided to tell my wife
that I loved another and was leaving her.
That night after my wife and I had a few cocktails,
I told her I loved someone else and wanted a divorce.
She laughed at me and said she loved someone else too.
Suddenly I got dizzy and everything went dark as night.
My wife had put undetectable poison in my drink;
I died from her deadly concoction moments later.
My wife got away with murdering me.
The poison wasn’t discovered in my body.
She had my remains cremated.
She collected a huge insurance pay out.
But now she is paying for her infamy.
She is going clinically insane
Because I haunt her day and night,
And she cannot get my spirit
Out of her tortured mind.
Bob Boyd
