Gifts of Guilt

she holds her hair
till he puts on the necklace
which he hopes
would take away the guilt of mistreating her

he kisses her on the neck
to show some affection
but it doesn't bring back
the sparkle in her eyes

and she wonders
if this is how it's going to be
will he try to buy himself
out of all the mistakes he makes

thoughts of leaving him
lingers on her mind
scared of being alone
she decides to play along
