RondeauA 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
