Betrayed. (A work of fiction).

Neither of us mentioned
a thing about 'The Deed,'
I knew
HE knew
I knew
about it
so speaking had no need
and silent was the way we faced...
                                                         The Deed.


Neither of us ever
said a word about The Pain,
I wore his knife as if for life
my BACK had been The same,
I wore it like a bandage so that
I wouldn't bleed...
and neither of us spoke about...
                                                           The Deed.


Neither of us said a word about what he had done,
never mentioning the lies,
betrayal
or love gone,
 both of us ignored my tattered heart,
and neither of us mentioned how our closeness


 fell


 APART.

We just  went on


p r e t e n d i n g


hoping there would be
 


NO 


                                e  n d i n g ,
 


and neither of us spoke about....
                                                            The Deed.

Looking back I wonder if  I should have spoken,
would it be that I'd NOW be
much stronger or less broken?

Our 'TRY' to mend our love did NOT succeed,
and still I hold ( far from that road,)
       


untold,


U N T O L D...


                                                   THE DEED!

Hi Patricia,Good point,but here in Australia we have a name (nick name) for sex,it's called doing the deed...it's inuendo but everyone here knows what it means,we all also call cheating 'doing the dirty' ...I guess in other countries they have more refined ways to say sex or cheating,I guess you'd have to be an Aussie to know,thanks for the comment, the deed was not a hug,it was a '....',you know what!
yeh...'a deed!
God luv ya...you've made me smile.

Kay,

As you said this is fiction. Even so, the deed should have been mentioned. If it was just a hug, maybe he was only comforting someone else who had a broken heart. The truth needs to be faced or found out. Betrayal is a hard thing to write about. You express it very well.

Should you had spoken, perhaps it would have gone for the better between the two of you. Okay, I know this is only fictional...
