Scandal

How did I let it come to this?

This path

            This scandal

                        This shame.

What was I thinking?

Why wasn’t I thinking?

Should have known better.

Now I suffer the flame.

I could deny.

            I could lie

(or confess)

Heavens no!

            Such a blow.

Would my ego survive?

I could dive in a hole til

The tempest has passed.

So confused,

            Unamused,

                        Putting choices to rest.

If the real truth should surface

(It eventually will)

My good name,

            My good favor,

My Good God! Gone for good.

So, I wait for my fate and

Accept my comeuppance.

My bad choice.

            Bad behavior.

Do it over?

Wish I could.
