Marigold

Scarlett tears relay my fears,

 

Showing the deception of perception.

 

Chronic agitation at manipulation,

 

Following the karma of past drama.

 

Withered and weary,

 

Silent and leery,

 

Once betrayed,

 

Trust is never regained.

Author's Note

Looked it up, one of marigolds meaning is betrayl, sorrow, etc

Plant marigolds in your vegetable garden and you will have no problem with troublesome insect pests.. curiously bees tolerate them.
Beauty with pest control.. no betrayal here!

[An owl on the moon]

Powerful throughout, but those last lines speak to the ages.. yes.. once trust is lost it is impossible to regain.. The pain cuts too deep.. Wondrous words all..
