Twisted

Twisted

He’s no longer mine.
I know that now,
although he says
he will never again stray.
But I will not compromise.

He thinks I have forgiven him;
that my anger is gone,
but I will never forgive
betrayal.

I am a shell;
a painted mask.
He has made me this way.

He drank of my youth,
and left me hollow.
I have been twisted
by his indiscretion,
and no longer care for my future;
or his.

If only he knew my plan.
He must pay the price
for his deception.

I reach for the gun
under my pillow.
I will ruin him,
as he has ruined me.
I close my eyes;

and....BANG!
