72. Betrayal

By Rose Strailo

I never thought it would happen to me. I never thought that I would have been in a relationship in the first place. But I was.
And even as I stand here and listen to my so called lover call out another’s name in passion, knowing that I was going to finally give him everything, is the ultimate betrayal. I run and don’t turn back, even as my crimson haired lover calls for me to return, my tears flowing fast and free.
“Lin…” I hear whispered on the wind by the one who gave me the first true taste of betrayal. My crimson haired love, my blood covered betrayer.
Micah…
Never more shall my heart be allowed to feel love that can so easily hurt me, so easily destroy me…
