He appeared out of the fog Once I was done reading the letter I was crying my eyes out When he said it had to be this way
“Tell me what my crime is” I pleaded He leaned in and wrapped me around in his arms And said “I don’t feel the same way you do, My integrity will only bring shame on your love”
Why out of all the times now? When I was just starting to feel the summer He brought drought in my beautiful land With a letter that he should have never sent
This is Scene 5 of The Altar I Was Denied, a short story in form of poetry.
