Miserable Maiden

A miserable maiden,
in her eyes sorrow is seeping.
Red veins branch out generously,
as if she has never thought of sleeping.

For it is her past and nothing else,
the sole-purpose of her weeping,
that keeps her until midnight,
thinking of his shrieks repeating.

And as she continued to stare ahead,
a foggy mirror before her-teasing,
all she could see is him in her eyes,
and his limp form bleeding.

You must be wondering,
"What is she meaning?"
Because you know nothing.
Nothing of his cheating!

He loved this miserable maiden,
their relationship was succeeding.
But it was all a lie,
she was not what he was needing.

He found a different flower,
more pleasant, more pleasing.
How did she know?
Why, she went to his chamber one evening.

She forgot her book,
a book she was reading.
But when she entered his chamber,
her eyes were not believing.

He was with the pleasant flower,
both were smiling and leaning.
The maiden silently cried,
watching but not speaking.

Then all of a sudden,
he noticed the maiden's eyes leaking,
tears staining her cheeks,
salty drops racing and competing.

"T'is not what you believe, my dear maiden,"
he began pleading.
"Please understand that I mean well!
I am not misleading!"

But the maiden did not listen,
she was miserably retreating.
But she stopped-a gunshot was heard-
and she heard him painfully screaming.

The flower was not pleasant,
it was poisonously creeping.
With the gun in it's hand,
it looked frightening though fleeting.

"He disrespected us, you see,
he was nothing but mistreating."
The flower finally speaks,
speaks before quickly leaving.

The maiden left him there,
his limp form bleeding,
after she found her book,
a book they loved reading.

Horrible memories they were,
haunting her dreaming.
She could not sleep anymore,
her mirror kept teasing.

And the maiden blinks twice,
through the mirror she is heaving.
And it is then that I notice,
that I am her-weeping.
