Sense Sonnet - Chiller

Severed Ties

Even though she was almost due
To give birth to their first born child,
With her, he wanted to be through;
So divorce papers he had filed.
When she found out, she went berserk,
Attacking with a butcher knife.
Attempts to calm her did not work.
He got his gun and shot his wife.
Falling to the floor, she was dead.
He knew he had to act real fast.
He'd bury her under the shed,
And be well rid of her at last.

From her finger, he ripped the ring.
From her womb, he pulled the offspring.
