I understand it was my fault
Although
I believe it was my right
It was not betrayal
I filled a zealous compulsion
With him
gone in the clouds I thought I was safe
So I left
to another
The night
with the paramour
filled me with
No worries,
just vivid dreams
And the necklace
of Pearls he gave me
Last night he came back
Chills clenched my skin
Premonition coursed through my
veins
I was
unwilling to face his kiss
We both
knew something was wrong
The next
morning he stared at the Pearls
They were
stuck like static to my neck
Momentarily
touching it with his bare finger
He pulled
back
Shocked
from the unsolicited knowledge
Seeking
revenge, he now creeps up behind me
A blade
in his hand sharp as a claw
I await
his pounce
Wondering,
Can he
here my muted cry?
The
bright walls darken with his shadow
I feel
the onlooker’s piercing eyes
A master
of torment
He takes
the blade
Swipes it
through my breast
I yell, emit
a shriek
My pain
is heard
I bleed
tears
My cries
are seen
I heal a
scarlet scar
My
actions are shown
Tomorrow,
I will let my hair down
Covering
the scar
I will
sell the Pearls to a wealthy fellow
Go back
to love
And when
the time is right,
I will share
my scarlet scar
