My Last Farewell

My dear Marcus,

I know that you told me that, in time, you would make your secrets known to me.  However, I have found that, though this is what you told me, I will never know what is on your mind.  I fear to know the reasons you left my bed.  I could scarce imagine the reasons why you were so ill as to be up so late at night.  What ailed your mind?  What thoughts were running through your sorrowful heart?  I will never know, for this very night I shall die.  I shall die as Caesar hath died.  My dear husband, what could have caused you to betray him so?  What could have made you betray your beloved Rome?  I believed in you and trusted you, until the very moment your blade entered his warm flesh and your hands were awash with his red life.  No longer do I feel safe in your life.  No longer do I consider you my husband.  You are a stranger, and to a stranger I bid my last farewell.

Sincerely, your love,

Portia Catonis

I loved this. This was very sophisticated and I thought this was very well written. Good job
