Worth

Written by Jacob Ibrag

Day seven. She wakes up. Four

in the morning. Kisses him. Gets

dressed. Goes running. In denial.

 Sweat hugs her body.  Acceptance.

Runs faster. Can’t go back. Out of

breath. Feeling guilty. Her husband

will be back in two days. Glancing

at the empty black sky, not a star

out to witness her cry. Wishing to

understand why she did what she

did. ‘Was  it all worth it?’
