Chaperoning

The clinic feels like                            Alcatraz.
There’s no escape in                         this love.
I feel a growing sense                        of alarm
when you don’t return                    that night.
The doctor decides to                   sound calm
& I’m coerced into negotiating a settlement.

I am new to all of this but I really loved it. When poems get also bogged down with so many descriptive words I just feel my mind collecting clutter. I want to FEEL something , not just read something, good job !
