She Sits, She Lays

She sits, he cuts off her cries

Emptiness clouds her once vibrant forest eyes

She sits, trapped by unhinged thoughts

Hopelessness fills her mind that is ripped and torn

She sits, kissing the unwanted mouth

Pain further incriminating her health

She sits, quieted by the dark void

Drowning out the noise

The tapping of shoes on the pathway

The squeaking tires on the driveway

The shattering of thrown beer

The yelling insults in her ear

The groping of her butt

Or the harsh kick to her gut

She lays, a wife being raped

Grunting, hearing sounds that she hates

She lays, mistreated by her husband

Blessed with inability to birth children

She lays, glad she won't have to birth his child

Blocking away the pain so that it's mild

She lays, next to the man she once admired

She lays, wondering if she's ever been this tired

She lays, feeling useless, proven in what she's labelled

She lays, in all ways disabled
