She spent a lifetime stuck in
silence in case he'd say something
wrong, no one ever heard her speak
no way to belong trapped inside her
own thoughts.
Screaming in silence petrified by the
thoughts off violence, wants to break
free but knows of no where left to run
a demure expression gives nothing away.
Decades spent existing within the cage
that became her home no friends or family
just a beast that won't let her be, battered
and broken there was a longing that
nothing could contain completely.
That beast of a man met his demise in a
drunken sleep, with the screaming off her
cry's plunging a nine inch blade deep within
his black heart, the last thing he heard was
her first words " no more no more no way".

Very strong emotive write Ziggy.
many thanks for your comment will read your post soon zigs
Zigs,
A powerful write!
This is an excruciating painful existence for anyone to bear! You’ve captured the essence of her living hell very well!
My grandmother once told me a story very similar to your write...different means but same ending! It happened in a small town in Italy where she was born! A woman living in a situation very much like the one you’ve described. The means by which she ended his life was by throwing his intoxicated body in a well! That was the last drink and breath that he took! Believe it or not, she was exonerated for her deed!
