The Beautiful Jail : Relationships

written by Poet : Doctor-Write


 

 

Once a day , you could say

she escaped from the jail   .

 

At the gate she would wait

 and then bring in the mail .

 

Back inside where she’d hide ,

the way she really felt  .

 

Who’s to blame in a game

where cards are badly dealt  .

 

French perfumes ,

extra rooms for all her designer clothes .

 

Home duties ,

foot poofies , the midday TV shows.

 

Polished floors , louvre doors ,

a touch slightly surreal .

 

Silken sheets , old antiques ,

a whiter shade of pale .

 

Chiffoniers , chandeliers , 

everything in its place .

 

Just like her , its unfair ,

the fears she had to face .

 

It was sad , all she had

was empty and untrue .

 

Love was gone , she stayed on ,

with the things no one knew.

 

Angry screams ,

broken dreams in a beautiful jail .

 

Doing time  , for a crime

and marriage posted bail .  

 

Black bruises , blown fuses ,

in the end had its toll -

 

She broke free and then she
kissed goodbye to it all .
