Harlot

I was going to call this 'Guilt' but somehow 'Harlot' seemed catchier...!!

Confrontation was her way

As she glared, accusatory

And I smiled, 'how are you'?

Really, what else could I do?

With her eyes flashing fury

Was I condemned... she my jury?

Stood in silence, let her rant

With a feigned ignorance

And as daggers pierced my eyes

Told sparse truth, but did not lie

Praying my face to not blush scarlet

Consummate guilt....

I was that harlot.
