covered in bruises and filled with pain,
the man lays still by the flowing drain,
beaten and robbed by thugs before,
his wallet was taken so they could gain more,
a comment was said about the picture of his wife,
now with his address and keys they could ruin his life,
lifting himself up and crawling to a hunch,
the men had hit him so hard he spewed up his lunch,
with pain ignored and strength held tight,
he begins to walk back home in the night,
passing streets and parks on his way,
managing to reach home before the start of the next day,
the door is open and no lights switched on,
he enters the house wondering if they are gone,
searching the rooms one at a time,
the men had stolen adding more to their crime,
panic sets in as blood is found on the bed,
soaked in long ago and not longer red,
he searches more but she cannot be found,
walking to the back yard to look around,
there in the corner a shape he sees,
behind in the darkness behind the trees,
fear strikes his heart of this could be her,
closing his eyes to not know the answer,
taking a torch and shining it straight,
for those thugs he more adds to his hate,
skin is seen but something else is wrong,
he shines it at the face to push himself strong,
it is one of the thugs tied up with some kind of weave,
as he turns around to see something he could never believe,
the other thug tied also above with the same silk cover,
could this have been done by his wife and lover,
the rain drops down making him shiver in the cold,
a secret hidden from him that was never told,
not seeing her in sight of evidence of her near,
to lose her was his worst of all fear,
it doesn't matter what she is or what she can do,
love is forever between these lovers too.
