Unknown Room

With a key in hand,
I approach the door,
Fitting into the lock,
Trembling, unsure.

A breath escapes me,
A prayer, soft and low,
As the door swings open,
Revealing a scene of woe.

In a room unknown,
Secrets lie in wait,
Where love once flourished,
Now meets its bitter fate.

Within those walls,
A bleak tableau is found,
My bride in his arms,
Their love's echo, now unsound.

On our wedding day,
In sweet embrace,
Betrayal blooms,
Leaving no trace.

My heart crumbles,
In silent despair,
As truth unfolds,
In betrayal's snare.

Stumbling backward,
In shock and dread,
Burdened by the weight,
Of words left unsaid.

A world turned dark,
Life hanging by a thread,
Am I alive still,
Or am I already dead?
