Deluded

silently a prayer fell
from her lips
lips red like the wine
they shared

her world
now a stain
that grows
with each
whispered lie

hoping
believing
yet always
in her heart
the knowledge

a betrayal
a Judas
yet beneath her skin
she still shines
in dazzling
self delusion

another lie is born
I love you
she whispers
and sips her wine
