Men With Chains

Men with chains Come on the lips of kisses Vibrating warmth and passion Kindness that lights the heart With feelings alive, pouring out Tender hope over the thoughts Men with chains Clinging together, preparing To lock the locks Turn the keys to the prison Of dark longings Men with chains Quivering rage on the sullen embraces Of blazing rage, piercing Her dreams with a custody That clips her wings Men with chains Remind her why she needs She cries – she tries To remember why Beneath a black eye Men with chains Shadow even the heart With storms, assaulting The spirit’s deafening silence

Domestic violence. What makes women (sometimes men too) trauma bond? Dependence … maybe financial or emotional. Fear.
