that tarnished ring by judester
Love's Betrayal. writing prompt entry
Artwork by avmurray at FanArtReview.com

Lying, sighing tears cascade
upon the bed you made.
Never a thought of the cost,
in hollow vows you made.

Wrapped around your finger
that simple band of gold.
Once it shone with love's promise,
now tossed, tarnished and cold.

On one hand, I understand
lost love, for what it's worth.
That tight'ning ring, like broken wings ~
sent you plummeting to earth.







Writing Prompt
Write a poem, any style or length, about a lovers betrayal.

Author Notes
Thanks to avmurray for the artwork. I am not a big believer in marriage, but a vow made should be honored, regardless.
