What they wanted

His voice wracked with sad, palpable gloom
Low, mournful why's spread, filling the room
So very, very sad; almost too painful to hear
Brackets for this scene of many grief-spawned tear
'Please leave me alone', was all he had said
Following her shocking words that rang in his head
Silence broken now only by a sob-filled gasp
The one thing he held dear, slipping from his grasp
Quiet now, as if the whole world all fell silent
The heat of angry clawed him like a misplaced tyrant
Still, they knew it wrong for him to be left alone
Eerily, slowly just how wrong, cut to the bone
She thought long and worried thin polished fingers
The doubts of her decision surface and now lingers
At the door with apologies, all is hushed
'Okay', she said, 'yes, I was wrong...I rushed.'
'Honey, I'm sorry', stood outside the locked door
Nothing from within, except a thump on the floor
'I didn't think when I made you sad.''Do you hear me?'
'Now, open up, silly...remember that I have a key!'
Her dreams are haunted to this very day
What she had found in the puddle where he lay
Leaving was what she thought was so right
Twice wrong was she; he left her that night
A ribbon with a ring, the slip of why, almost not found
All lying so close to him...crumpled on the ground
You wanted to leave, it said, and start a new life
All I wanted, was just for you to be my wife
Late at night, you can hear her pace the floor
Soft, sad, mournful sobs slip past the door
She got what she wanted; it can be said
Life alone, without him...her lover...now dead
