THE NIGHT OF BETRAYAL

In haze, Luna saw Shirley's sly stride,
Evil smirk spreading, as she glided beside,
"You'll leave this world," Shirley's voice did say,
"Drugged and bound, forever to stay,"
Trapped in darkness, Luna's fate sealed today

Caleb's lips, Shirley's waiting kiss,
Luna's drunken haze, a wicked bliss.
In front of her, a cruel display,
Caleb's deceit, shredded Luna's heart's sway.

Luna's eyes, half-open, witnessed the lie,
Caleb's lips on Shirley, a bitter sigh.
Her heart, already broken, now did shatter,
Trust destroyed, love turned to utter chatter.

Shirley's triumph, a wicked gleam,
Luna's pain, her heart's darkest dream.
Caleb's guilt, a fleeting glance,
Too late, the damage, a permanent stance.

Luna's world crashed, in that single moment,
Her love, her trust, forever tormented.
The memory of Caleb's kiss on Shirley's lips,
Forever etched, a painful, bitter grip.

Luna's Journey continues!...
