Retreat

Crawling into bed Seeking comfort Finding evasion Pulling the blankets Right over her head Hiding from the day The hurt the anguish The abuse the deluge To see if In the morning She’d be strong enough To get up and Face it all again Submitted on January 17, 2022 for contest A STRAND (1054) sponsored by BRIAN STRAND Originally posted on November 19, 2018
