She seemed like the sweetest woman ever
when he first met her and fell in love with her.
After a few months of marriage, she began to change.
At first the changes were subtle, slight signs of irritation.
But as if something demonic were devouring her core,
her sweetness began to be overlapped by angry outbursts.
In time many arguments and meanness ensued, and he
wondered whatever happened to the sweet woman he
married. He concluded she was like an actress who
played a part of a character she wasn’t to lure his love.
Now he wishes he could kill her because he knows she
will attempt to get as much alimony from him as she can
and try to ruin his reputation with false claims of abusive
when he finally rids himself of her in a divorce court.
