This is the ultimate betrayal. Deliberate and knowing.
The surprise element in the story is excellent as the mention of the woman's previous betrayal gives you a false sense that all is well here until the end where you learn that all is not well.
The poem flows well and is memorable because of the shock element.
The setting reflects the storm that lies behind what seems like wedded bliss but in fact is stolen time.

I love the picture. I love the poem. The woman started out being betrayed. Then she finds someone that will betray someone else. She speaks of deep love. She knows nothing of it if she is willing to steal it from another. Great work.

I did not see that ending coming at all. What a terrific unexpected twist. I really enjoyed reading this. It was very well written and very good to read.
