Betrayal

Rating: 5.0


Her whispered words

fall silently to the floor

like autumn leaves.

The night breeze blows

and gently rustles

her empty lies.

I loved this piece. I've written a piece with the same title. You've illustrated it with just a few words.

WOW! Short but very powerful. So few words, yet they speak volumes. Sometimes there is more truth in what is left unsaid. Well done, Jim! Linda :)
