Clandestine
A Crown Cinquain
Secrets
Burn like hot coals
Scorching her fragile mind
The weight of knowing sears her soul
Burden
~~~~~
Burden
She dared to share
A truth too dark to hold
But trust once broken cannot heal
Fractured
~~~~~
Fractured
By his cold words
Her guilt became her chains
While his deeds festered in the dark
Poison
~~~~~
Poison
Spread through their bond
Each whisper fed the rot
Until their friendship fell apart
Ashes
~~~~~
Ashes
Were all that stayed
Two hearts now torn and burned
Destroyed by silence, guilt, and pain
Secrets
Author's Notes
If a friend confided in you that they were lying to someone to protect them, but you knew the truth would eventually cause that person deep pain, and they asked you to keep it a secret, what would you do? Could you stay silent, knowing the harm their actions might cause? What would be the right thing to do in that situation?
A Crown Cinquain is a sequence of five cinquain stanzas functioning to construct a larger poem. The syllabic count for each stanza 2-4-6-8-2.
The last line of the previous cinquain stanza is repeated as the first line of the next cinquain stanza.
The final line of the last cinquain stanza does not have to equal the first line of the first cinquain stanza, but it is an option.
