Trial of a betrayal


Was it a trial

Awaiting a betrayal

Or was it a walk

To test the talk

They walked on together

Enjoying the crescendo

Trying to sheepishly peep in

Through their heart's window

Testing and trying each other 

They amusingly carried on

Courtesy their brains

Rather than their brawn

The realisation of truth

Had never been so mature

Both were honouring a relationship 

Whose core was so pure

Mutual respect and growth

Formed the axis of this new age relationship

Which helped them gain an equilibrium

Without falling prey to a guilt trip
