She sits in silence
wondering how her life became this mess.
Her constant companion is loneliness
there’s no one she can share this with.
They wouldn’t understand.
He’s her man.
She sits in silence
wondering if she does deserve this.
Happiness seems like so much bullshit.
I mean who lives it?
She sits…
They wouldn’t understand.
She sits in silence
cleaning wounds her lover inflicted
trying to remember a time before
the pain.
Wishing she could change
him
her
it doesn’t even matter.
Just
change
things.
She sits…
They wouldn’t understand.
They all say,
“leave him”
They say,
“You deserve better”
She sits…
They wouldn’t understand.
She sees their disapproval
internalizes it
Something IS wrong with her
she just doesn’t know what it is.
Something has to give
they have kids.
The kids don’t deserve this
she knows this
She sits…
They wouldn’t understand.
If just one of them would
take her hand
Hold her close,
TELL her where to go.
She’s been his puppet so long
she can’t even think on her own.
They keep telling her to go
how?
where?
with what money?
She sits…
bites her swollen lip…
They wouldn’t understand.
And so she stays
trapped in a nightmare
lost in misunderstanding.
