There was a relief in feeling

the storm was approaching

It meant she could hide the evidence

Of what had transpired in an instant

She pushed him off the deck

It was not an act of recklessness

In a split second she had made a decision that would effect her future

But no one was around

to tell the story

For the storm would wash away the evidence and all his former glory

‘Would they miss their captain?’,

she mused.

Off course not

There had been a mutiny

on the rise that

he was not privy too

A deceitful man,

got just what he deserved

For betraying her love they used to share under the stars above
