In the dark night
I had to strike her
She, who was ONCE my life
You guessed right
My WIFE!

Reason was plain enough,
She had seen me with my sweetheart & was designing her evil plan to make me penniless.

In the moonless night,
I toasted champagne with her, celebrating my promotion.
I made it sure, she crossed her limit. She was feeling on top of the world as I had promised, never to see my flame again.
She was already tipsy, as I took her to the bath tub.
She kissed me and was soon in the water, waiting for me to join her. I slipped into the warm water and took her in my arms, she was now right in front of me, giggling loudly. I brought her closer & her back was turned towards me. I took the blade and slashed her thin wrist.
I am a surgeon and know how to make the cut look suicidal. With a cruel grin, I pushed her body and went to my bar to have a strong drink. The records would show me attending a medical conference in California. I was so proud that I had committed the perfect crime! The best surgeon in the world know how to handle blades and knives. I laughed aloud till my sides ached & I was on the floor. I awoke from my CREAM Dream. Hearing her nag me, I looked at her. Her face smeared with facepack. My thoughts shifted from the beautiful dream to the horrifying live nightmare. She was swaying both her hands and was cursing me for waking up late.
My flame was my sexy nurse, she was my daytime fantasy! My wife didn't know about my erotic desire as my flame & I always meet inside my dirty mind.
My perfect crime always plays perfect in my imperfect life.
