Jen H. Poet Quatrain

Terrified

The sunlight dances in his eyes
He sees right through my disguise
He runs his hands through his hair
Keeping a straight face, he tries, he tries

This just isn't fair
Does he really not care
He left me here all alone
Into emptiness I now stare

Our names should be carved into stone
We should be sitting on the throne
But under this mask I now hide
While my heart is being re-sewn 

I duck away from the rising tide
I can't just take again his side
He told me all those horrible lies
And now, I am left... terrified
