A Secretive Woman

Presumed innocent
she hides
beneath white sheets
behind drawn curtains
in the motel room.

Exhausted by promise
she waits
to be discovered.
If not by the world
by him.

Then wonders
if she were his vow
would she be forthcoming
or still
the other woman?

It terrible how there were only ever two choices through the ages..oh well. That's history, I guess.
