Betrayal

Her eyes were transfixed upon him,
Her face bore a perplexed look of utter disbelief,
Hands drawn close to her chest-
Shielding the scarlet mosaic of blood.
The vibrant colors had turned into a ghostly white,
Her mouth was open in an awkward shape,
Trying desperately to squeeze out some words.
Tears streamed down the "once rosy" cheeks,
She experienced a sudden thrust of agonizing pain;

As a final action, she recalled the past memories,
They were so much in love, (or seemed to be in love),
They were inseparable, Oh!
all the promises he'd made to her,
Of lifelong companionship & continual support,
They seemed so hollow now, false & unreal;
Oh! the divine moments, were they all illusory too?
Yes, her life was only a struggle in vain!
He, whom she'd trusted above all, Had
betrayed her, had stabbed the knife into her heart
And tore it apart
With a merciless blow;
"How...." the words faded away into the murky silence
The blood congealed in the circulating veins-
Her lifeless body crumpled on the floor....
