BROKEN WINGS
Secrets in a bottle
A dove.. a tender dove
Fell from its mother's nestÂ
Into the arms of a predator
A repeated offender
A creeper of the nightÂ
When eyes are closed tight
Inflated with wine
The perfect excuse to commitÂ
His crimesÂ
While the innocent sleepsÂ
His lust reaches its peak
As his reptile mentalityÂ
Guides him in the darkness, safelyÂ
Over floors that squeaksÂ
Under the innocent sheetsÂ
There, she is consumed wholeÂ
And in an instant, becomesÂ
A broken soul
Scared for the rest of her lifeÂ
She remains a shell of a womanÂ
And a confused wife
She is aware of her potentialsÂ
But can only mimic the partÂ
Her heart cries when it longs to singÂ
She is confined to the groundÂ
A dove now fully grownÂ
With broken wings.

Wilford this is a cleverly woven write. You capture the sinister behaviour of the predator, and also the life changing trauma inflicted on the victim perfectly with great imagery and metaphors. Brilliant writing đź‘Ź x
