Companion
She let him run his fingers through her hair.
Sometimes she let him tear them from their roots.
She’d let him sing poems of care,
Sometimes let him spill venom and be rude.
She was his slave.
Sometimes his muse.
To her, he will always be, just another man.

🙂 It’s about the violence some women endure calling it their fate.
Thanks for stopping by Dave.

Absolutely love this one. This is very similar to how I would have written this thought.

You’ve hit the nail on the head my friend, and driven it deep inside. Keep the ink flowing.

I’m sadistic like that! 😉
