Each step towards the altar and sealing of her fate,
each step taken meeting his analysing gaze,
his cold eyes are pits of void, enveloping and endless,
they arrest her in an amalgam of dread, connundrum, despair and defiance.
She cannot falter, but the betrayal weighs,
a daughter's betrothal, the price of a mother's mistake,
her will is inconsequential in her own tale!
