Unforgiven

While morning 's light creeps silently
through the ivory curtain,
She awakens to the sound
of a red winged blackbird,
singing a haunting song of promises to come.
She reaches over and entwines
her fingers through his,
and contentedly listens to him breathe.
And as she watches him sleep, so blissfully unaware,
she bites her lip and wipes a way a single
tear.,
She quickly dresses and lets her self out,
Without so much as a glance behind her,
Someday it will be different,
she tells herself through tear stained eyes.
She'd almost convinced herself..
That this time she would stay.
