Unspoken

Unspoken

A warrior in her own marriage
guarded and alert at all times
Never knowing when the serpent
would commit conjugal crimes
 
Wondering how she arrived here
he’d pulled the wool over her eyes 
Ludicrous that this could happen
and no one there to hear her cries
 
The more forceful his voice
the less she would protest
Succumbing to his superiority
living a life oppressed 
 
Her words left unspoken
as if language was banned
a prisoner in her own body
much more than she could stand

I have been writing poetry since I was a child and it has helped in the good times and bad times. I am always looking within to find the answers to life's problems and to write thought-provoking poetry and prose. Thanks for checking it out. Christine

    1. Thanks Jane. I should perhaps add the word ‘now’ after my statement. I have been in a similar situation in my life and I have great empathy for those that suffer in such relationships 😢
