In the shadows' embrace
I sought answers from her
My voice piercing the veil of secrecy
that cloaked her whereabouts for days
that felt like weeks.
-
The eerie silence that followed
hung like a menacing spectre in the dimly lit room.
Her response,
a mere flicker of emotion,
revealed nothing,
save for a chilling mystery to unfurl in the frigid air.
-
I grappled with confusion,
the cold tendrils of uncertainty wrapping around me,
physically and emotionally.
-
Persisting in pursuit of truth,
I confronted her again,
on where she had roamed,
sensing her evasion like a phantom in darkness.
-
With each elusive word
her subtle splutter
added to the emotional chasm
widening between us.
The dance of deceit
leaving me stranded in the shade of our fractured connection.
-
The tone shifted sombre,
echoing enduring hardship and pain
etched into the lines of my anguished brow.
-
Sinister turns
as I remove her veil of lies
concealing my lover's escapades.
-
The truth,
a bitter companion,
whispered in my ear
recalled through mind’s eye
of the tragic fate
that befell the one she had clandestinely embraced.
-
A horrific accident,
casting a pall of brutality over his existence,
entwining his destiny with hers.
-
Finality bore a shroud of mystery,
that man's whereabouts
and well-being obscured,
a tragic enigma lingering in the silent aftermath.
