No remorse story poem

No remorse

Beneath the waves my lover lies.
They search for her without success.
I see suspicion in their eyes
They do not know but some still guess

I loved her well and faithfully.
I thought she was the perfect wife.
Behind my back she betrayed me.
I had the right to take her life.

Or would have had long years ago
The price of infidelity
was to be slain and justly so.
Though today’s laws do not agree.

I could not kill her openly.
Though she had earned the punishment.
I had to plan it carefully
and see no reason to repent.

My conscience does not bother me.
I still sleep peacefully at nights.
She feeds the fish beneath the sea.
I wish them hearty appetites.

I have no doubt that in due course
the tides will wash her bones ashore.
I do believe I had just cause.
She won’t betray me any more

D.N.A may identify
to whom the naked bones belong
but never how she came to die
Nor will they prove that it was wrong.

It could have been an accident.
Or a guilt induced suicide.
The only thing that I resent
That I had no choice but to hide

The punishment she well deserved.
Instead of acting openly
I think that justice has been served.
Though no one knows the truth but me.

My lover lies beneath the waves
I visit her quite frequently
as other people visit graves
