Treachery, check. 

Agony, check. 

What's left? 

Oh yes, rage. 

I gave him two damn years, 

for crying out loud. 

Sympathised before obligations took over. 

But didn't empathize. 

Then I would've overdone. 

He didn't utter a word, 

Let alone yell. 

I waited looking into those hues, 

And waited.

Then again. 

'Shocked' is too undermining now. 

 What he's feeling is far more atrocious. 

And why shouldn't that be? 

When his own wife left him penurious.
