Watermarks
There is no need for her to speak
of how she fell from glory.
Watermarks stain her cheeks
and tell her bitter story.
Her betrayal begins in the plateaus
of her weak and swollen eyes.
As her love for him began to grow,
he detained her with his lies.
Follow the grooves to the mark
that was painted on at birth.
She felt her life was truly stark
before he stole her worth.
Devalued she quickly became,
as is apparent beside her mole.
She did not sense his acid rain
that flooded her poor soul.
Her heart was not enough to give.
Love transformed into fear.
Devoured by pain, each day she lives
with scars carved by her tears.
