Reprisal
oh, that she were here
to witness...
my exquisite pain
and suffering.
the agony
I feel
when her voice
falls
upon my ear.
the touch
of her gaze
glancing over my being
how she did move me,
now gone
to another's side.
a swift
kick in my
smoldering pride,
but I shall watch
as she dies
inside...
at the telling
of his ultimate lies.
she shall burn
with the shame
of exposure!

A telling word you chose chose for the title dear Cat - love some of the phrasing which shoots from your lines of dark retaliation.
thank you, Fay...glad you enjoyed it!
