Author's Note:
 
This poem began with the simple urge to write a poem, and turning to the "Notes" section of my Facebook profile. The phrase "Write a Note" is at the top of the page, and upon glimpsing at it absently, I was just instantly struck with threads of inspiration. I began thinking about the way some people cope with trial, particularly that of ending a relationship and/or a traumatic experience or mistake.
When I reference 'salvation', I don't necessarily mean religious salvation. It's more of a term geared toward fulfillment, the triumph over pain, and the willingness and ability to be happy or content with life.  
 
While I have my own reasons and perceptions for my styles and topics of poetry, I believe part of the magic of poetry is its ability to incite infinite interpretations and emotions from the readers and listeners. 
 
What does this poem say to you in your heart of hearts?

Henley agrees to pretend to date millionaire Bennett Calloway for a fee, falling in love as she wonders - how is he involved in her brother's false conviction? ****** Henley Linden's brother is in jail for a crime he didn't commit, and she'll take any job to raise the money needed to free him. Soon, she's agreed to pretend to date millionaire Bennett Calloway for ten thousand dollars, so his mother will ease up the pressure on him to find a wife. But once Henley is enmeshed in Bennett's world, he falls for her, and she starts to have feelings for him as well. Despite her romance with Bennett, as she grows closer to the Calloways, Henley realizes they are somehow involved in her brother's conviction.
