Betrayal (From my blog 'The Moon Artist)

in #poetry8 years ago

(Companion piece to 'The Glass Wall')


Your eyes hardened to black ice

As freedom from hell approached.

Was your love for me a lie?

Yes…it was.

You chose freedom over love

And left me to waste away in my cell.

In another timeline, you chose love over freedom.

You chose to stay with me.

We lived what little life we had left then.

We died together.

Decisions made, words exchanged.

Freedom called for you.

You answered.

I was numb by your betrayal.

The door to freedom closed

And I bled and wasted away in my grief.
