Amani, The Moon Princess - The Betrayal

The Betrayal

He told her she was beautiful.
He told her she outshined the stars.
She called him a liar amist her childish blush.
He told her he loved her
for now and for always.
He called her his springtime flowers
his autumn chill
the melody to his song
the lips to his smile
the lungs to his breath.
He said she was the only day to his night
the calm to his storm
and swore that she could always count on that.
And as he leaned in to kiss
her sweet beutiful virgin lips
he turned to dust at her fingertips.
Amist her bewilderment
she lost focus.

(A young heart is known for trading the ability to see
for the ability to love.)

A golden dagger engraved with the sign of the king
cut thru her ebony flesh
slicing her heart from behind.
She gasped expecting deaths sweet touch
but death never came.
Slowly she turned to see her betrayer
and their stood her rightful father, the King
next to the man who had sworn forever
then everything faded to black.
