My thoughts scramble in my head
racing in circles around and around.
Obsessing the, ” he said, she said’..
Struggling for answers to be found..
The feud was started with a tragedy:
Shameful adultery; then painful confrontation
ripped and tore through the family.
His fault, her fault became chaotic confusion!
He finally left, she was totally bereft
and she withdrew completely from society..
Alone, with only the memories she kept
of a love that betrayed her so cruelly..
She would not speak, could not eat
Faded into a tiny trembling ghost..
We, her family, concerned, agreed:
She needed help, our loving care at most!
But then she died. All hope disappeared..
Her heart was broken as l, we all had feared..
