A Close Call

This was my response to the prompt on One Minute Writer (the link is over there on the right hand side).

A Close Call

She had brilliant green eyes
She had a smile that illuminated the world
She smelled like sin and sunshine
We dated but...
I worked to many hours
I introduced her to a friend
She married him
She took him
Top to bottom
Left him weeping in the dust
And staggering under
Seven years of debt
Seven years of heartbreak
I kept a friend
I kept my heart
I kept my money
But I still remember the smell
Of sin and sunshine
