The moment he reached for my breasts
I froze up
My inner fear awakened by my anger
My skin felt cold
My head felt heavy
My body, numb with fear, tried to squirm free of his uncaring touch
Suddenly
I remembered the advice of my mother:
“Be obedient to your new husband!”
But brave me
I never kept a jumble of meaningless words in my head

tho not permitted, maybe.. I would give you a big but gentle hug... these are more than fine words, there is a beauty in their stark harshness and transparency...... peace sister & all good things.. Neville
Dear Neville,
I accepted your friendly hug, and your thoughtfulness is beautiful.
May your words comfort you as your sorrow and anger spill onto the page.
The untold tales could free us from the feeling of being unwanted and unloved.
Thank you.
