dawn of her wedding day arrives
secrets stain thrill of anticipation,
virtue long ago beheaded,
will her betrothed rake morbid circumstance?
masked in sullied trickery
her fate seems doomed,
with deception's clarity unveiled.
pleading destiny will sustain her
against innocence lost,
to retrace bygone days
only to circumvent disgrace.
reflection faces dire consequence
silhouettes of shame's touch,
shall forgiveness lie in his warmth
or leave her heart in banishment's chill?
