after betrayal

after betrayal

watching "sylvia" 3


you stand, with the dark
shadows covering your face,
heart wrenching, tears
bursting... you want to 
scream, you want to 
stand in silence.
to forgive him, 
will you?


or to stay free
with your own thoughts. 
gray encircles your eyes,
darkness hangs over you
like clouds in a winter's storm.
you must go on,
you have to keep going.


do not seek death,
do not lie in the dark.
wake up, sylvia, stand up 
and face this madness.
