A selection of names spewed daily on her
His modus operandi delivered with slurs
She had her young heart captured my him
Promises shoveled convinced her to give in
A matrimonial trap sprung on this beauty
Pleasing the unpleasant as her commanded duty
All essence of her being forced to be hidden
Behaving only by his rules forcefully given
A spark of survival seeks escape from within
The scream of her strength reclaiming her skin
A rediscovery of herself now no longer treading lightly
She will no more be confined to his warped form of wifely
