Twisted
Twisted
He’s no longer mine.
I know that now,
although he says
he will never again stray.
But I will not compromise.
He thinks I have forgiven him;
that my anger is gone,
but I will never forgive
betrayal.
I am a shell;
a painted mask.
He has made me this way.
He drank of my youth,
and left me hollow.
I have been twisted by his indiscretion,
and no longer care for my future;
or his.
If only he knew my plan.
He must pay the price
for his deception.
I reach for the gun
under my pillow.
I will ruin him,
as he has ruined me.
I close my eyes;
and....BANG!
