short-lived happiness with a speck of dust,
tarnishing the clean image of her innocence,
embellished with a sense of cruelty that overtook human frailty.
she asked herself,
a beast overtook her mind,
a feast spread out for the evil to unite,
look into my eyes,
our pupils met for that split second,
and you blinked, dissembling your thoughts,
instead of understanding the existing problem,
we chose to sit,
in silence.
