The Ill-Fated

The bitter sting of betrayal

By Raeanne PattersonPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

Caught in the throes of fiery passion

You are blind to his betrayal

But the lithe beauty sways him

Beguiles him, jewel-eyed

And he looks at you

Cold and unmoved

As you weep

Broken

Lost

About the Creator

Raeanne Patterson

Just a young woman full of uncertainty, looking to find her voice.
