Betrayal's Begotten

So far, they go -
A distant throw -
Down simple snow -
Forgotten.

And yet, a maid -
Through crime, parade -
And riches swayed -
Ill-gotten.

The weak confide -
Then run to hide -
To turn the tide -
Now rotten.

A dream, they’ll fade -
The cuts, been made -
No chance, persuade -
Stained cotton.
