#WritcoPoemPrompt19

Etch not unto her pliant flesh,
Cruel marks of your monstrous desire,
She bears your atrocities,
With silent rage,
Waiting to unleash her wrath,

Yet failing consistently to counter back.
For the amour she conveyed ,
Within her heart that stood-
Thumping, oh! so restlessly 'gainst the skeletal prison,
Turned blind-eye to your countless faults.
Succumbing to :
The man of her dreams,
The once "painter" of her world,
The hidden manipulator, cunning in his roots.

Whips of leather tarnishing the skin
Coated the waist in black and blue,
Fingers pierced through delicate peel
Your lady that screamed at you-
While you ignored her voice.

In want for an heir, you were made father,
Faded those same bellows -
Through the murky bedroom corner,
When Moon silhouetted within clouds,
You seized her precious sleep, away~

Feverish body through piles of chores
Looked not for a momentary pause,
Kept in place, the household strong-
Still you considered none so fondly...

Chauvinsist blood, flared temper
Discouraged cordiality vehemently.
Love resigned, faith departed
Fear crept in stealthily.

You knew none, for she kept them secrets-
You asked none, for she lost words.
You enjoyed power, while she the loser,

She carried your day, you ruined hers
She prepared eatables, you kept her hungry,
She gave you life anew, you made hers miserable.

Why such a barrier, I question.....
I await for your response...
Why is she deprived, you're unanswered
I await for your response...
