Her wedding ring is a chain
that she is forced to wear
so no one else will look at her
except him
Her wedding ring is a chain
that digs deep into her skin
so she’s covered in scars that come
from him
Her wedding ring is a chain
that has short links
so she can’t escape punches that come
from him
Her wedding ring is a chain
that gets tighter when she tries to break free
so she gives up trying to escape
from him
Her wedding ring is a chain
and she is dying
everyday
because of him
