Suddenly

Suddenly, deceitfully, the betrayal begins. She comes home late, lying, hiding her sins. Suddenly, expectedly, your doubt commences. Questioning her story; maybe they are pretenses. Suddenly, intently, you look into her eyes, hoping to determine if it is all a disguise. Suddenly, purposely, you question her story; listening closely as you doubt her oratory. Suddenly, profusely, she begins to cry; admitting to you that it was all a lie. Suddenly, quietly, she tells you the truth. She’s been with her ex, reliving her youth. Suddenly, softly, she asks you to forgive. Saying she was only trying her life to live. Suddenly, loudly, you raise you voice, telling her you feel that you have no choice. Suddenly, forcefully, you ask her to leave, having been taken advantage of for being naïve. Suddenly, slowly, she walks across the floor. You watch as she reluctantly goes out the door. Suddenly, unexpectedly, you’re all alone. Left all by yourself to face the unknown. Suddenly, hopefully, tomorrow’s a new day. with the grace of God, you will find your way.

Ummmm. Okay. I'm sorry. I can delete that previous comment. Fiction? Damn I hope so. So sad.

Oh John, this one really held me to the end, wanting to know what you did about it. So you let her go. I hope you never regretted it? (unless this is fictional, which could very well be the case). Knowing me, I'd probably have taken the cad back!) I really liked this one and how you repeated the beginning lines to reinforce it.
