They say: “He’s a lovely guy, so nice to his wife and kids.”
The guy you just can’t trust in movies and in books.
The hero, someone who helps us all, but at home, forbids.
Always smiles, even featured, everyone likes his looks.
Outside the home, upon the streets,
Old ladies he assists.
He smiles at everyone he meets
His personality, he twists.
His wife, not allowed to live the life she had envisioned.
Protects herself, disallows her feelings.
In her home she is imprisoned,
Waiting for signs of bruises healing.
He’s the baddie, in disguise
In every film and play.
He is the one that brings surprise
Antagonist? “You’d never have guessed,” they say.
You wait for his discovery,
You turn the pages much faster.
And pray that his skullduggery’s
Revealed for ever after.
