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 Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing © Poem written for today's word prompts and not indicative of my own life 🙂 Prompts Ludicrous - Word of the Day Warrior - FOWC Ban - RDP Photo by Thibault Debaene on Unsplash
