Rondeau

A Poem by Amy Alyssa

In the aftermath she stays by his side
Willingly oblivious to his misplaced pride 
Selfishly ignoring everyone's despair 
Because she doesn't hear the scream lingering in the air
She'll fall into routine, hanging on for the ride
Taking anything and everything he says into stride
Until nightmares violate her bedside 
And her heart is stripped bare
In the aftermath
Just like the rest of us, she'll feel cast aside,
Causing her pain to be amplified 
Regretting their affair 
Because living has become too much to bear 
Through eyes that see how the ones before her have died 
In the aftermath
