I am startled till this hour.
The pervasive of the vows was figid.
We made it up that it will be a fair trail . Ageism was trenching so quickly.
His tears made me feel even more guilty.
We were fond of each other but with time,
unenthusiastic was reigning.

Equivocated,deceived and hurt him .
He would coax and bossom me with love.
But I did it.
I got betrothed to his brother .
And today am in pain of deceit.
