Just a little poem I wrote long ago

GONE WRONG

Is he lying? Or telling the truth?

 

 

Waiting, worrying, worrying, and waiting. Sitting at the dinner table waiting. Everything set, dinner table, candles lights lit, food; I spent all day trying to prepare, the peach colored table cloth, I went out and spent 30 dollars on, lastly myself; wearing a red dress and black high heels. My hair pulled back and my nails done. I pour myself a glass of wine. He said he would be here at 8:30pm; it is now 9:14pm. He said he would not miss our greatest dinner night, he said he promised. Yet, he is still not here. I sigh upset and blow out the candle lights, wrap up his food and put it in the microwave. Then head upstairs. He must have gotten help up again, must have…I stopped waiting and I worried more and more. My mind bringing up horrid thoughts and images of what might have happened to him. AS I got ready for bed I shook my head trying to shake the horrid images and thoughts from my mind. Thoughts of him cheating on me or him in jail or him dealing drugs. Shaking them making them go away was highly impossible. As I get under the covers and pull them up to my neck I sigh and glance at the clock that now read: 9:30pm. I rub my eyes and groan. Turning to my side, I look at the empty side of the bed; once again I am going to bed…alone.

         At 12am, I hear the alarm go off and someone pressing in the code to deactivate it. My eyes still open, they have forced me to close them but I refused each and every time they threatened. Then the room door opens and it’s my husband, he looks at me, staring at the ceiling.

         “Where were you?” I ask him my voice breaking.

         “At the jewelry store picking out something nice for you.”          

         I faced him on my side. I saw him holding a small, red gift bag. He looked at me, deeply as if he was struggling to set things right.

         “Forget it…” I turn the opposite way, closing my eyes and trying to go to sleep, until I felt his hand burning my shoulder.

         “Baby, please let me explain.”

         I get up sighing in frustration and put my clothes on over my night clothes. Grabbing my car keys, he blocks the room door.

         “Please let me explain!” He shouts which scares me because he doesn’t yell or shout at me unless he wants to get his point across to me.

         I close my eyes and shake my head, “I am tired of your lies and the false accusations of where you have been. I am done.”

         His eyes backed up with tears, he hung his head; tiredly defeated. A fresh sigh escapes his lips. “I respect your decision.” He finally tells me as I moved him out of the way and began to leave.

          Next thing I felt was arms hugging my legs like a child. I stop nearly falling to the ground and look down to only see that my husband is on his knees crying and clinging to my waist.

         “Please don’t go. Please don’t leave me. I couldn’t handle it if you did.” He had his eyes tightly shut.

         My heart was suddenly filled with guilt for some odd reason, sighing once again; I put my hands on his head and lifted it up.

         “Explain.” Was the only thing I said.

         He finally let go of me and stood up wiping the tears from his dark brown eyes. “Well,” he began, “yesterday I saw you glaring at the diamond necklace in the window at Tiffany’s and today I went there to get it for you.” I see him fiddling with the bag. “But they were out…”

         I looked at him completely not believing his story now. “No, they had just got re-stocked today-.” He cut me off, “They didn’t have what I wanted for you.” He hands me the bag. I look at it; hesitating I take it and open it.

         It was the same diamond necklace only except for the diamonds it had my birthstone and a heart shaped pendant. Everything that I wanted was on it. My birthstone and his name in cursive. I look at him, “for you.” He says and all I could do was smile.

awhh it's very sweet!

Thanks. But do you think he is telling her the truth or lying to her. That's the thing.

maybe he was lying but just because he found out that he didn't want to lose her

Well, maybe...maybe I should have made him tell the truth...then see who is right
