Three
Three women
Three pairs of eyes closed in anticipation
Three bodies feeling the mist of the sea
Three pairs of ears hearing a lone seagull warble a tune
Three mouths moving in unison
Secrets
Lies
Schemes
One
No family
No friends
Destroyed
One mistake
One night filled with lust
A baby
Thought dead
A sister in love with a brother
Secrets
Discovery
Destroyed
One
No love
No hope
Crushed
One lie
One withheld truth
A son
With the wrong father
His love knows his destruction
Lies
Revealed
Crushed
One
No goodness
No happiness
Rejected
One moment
One sudden realization
An unreturned love
Never to be returned
Love for her cousin, not herself
Schemes
Confession
Rejected
Three
Destroyed
Crushed
Rejected
Three hearing footsteps
Three holding hands
Three words whispered
Secrets
Lies
Schemes
Three bodies in the water
One last cry of triumph
By the time their families got there, the strong ocean current had washed away everything. All that was left was a single sheet of paper with the simple words...
We Were Three
