What’s the first line of the last song you listened to (on the radio, on your music player, or anywhere else)? Use it as the first sentence of your post.
Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air
Sometimes I feel like throwing in the towel
Sometimes I feel like walking away and never looking back
Because sometimes it’s all just too much to take
She told me that I was her everything
I told her she was my light
But we were clearly both deluded
Especially after what I saw that night
You said you were going out with the girls
Whilst I was hanging with the guys
But I left the party early because I wasn’t feeling well
And have got that image burnt into my eyes
I saw her car in the driveway
As I pulled up outside
My keys clinking in the door
And what followed made me cry
I saw the wine bottles on the kitchen bench
And the glasses on the table
As I heard the giggles coming from above
I noticed the clothing on the floor
I saw some socks on the stairwell
which lead to some knickers by the bedroom door
I couldn’t believe the image before me
My wife in bed with another
Another woman, and our family friend
Our little girl’s best friend’s mother
I stood there watching for a moment
Trying to make sense of what I could see
And as you arched your back in absolute ecstasy
You turned and looked at me
But what really hurt the most was that you didn’t stop
My presence there didn’t phase you
Your girlfriend looked up from between your legs
And turned your head back to kiss you
She didn’t even care that I was there
Your husband, your everything
As though I didn’t exist
That just pushed me over the edge
And all I saw was red.
