Unhappy Marriage

How many zillions of women
before me
have had to endure
an unhappy marriage?
I shudder to think

Being in an unhappy marriage
is like living in a cage
slow torture
This lack of freedom
unknown by the husband
is deadly

The husband plays God
Master
Bad Boy
Son
For some warped reason
Having a woman under his thumb
gives him a sense of power
that he can wallow in

I didn't know about marriage
before -- but now I suspect
that the wedding dress and veil
are a lure
into the cage

What woman on earth
doesn't want to be the beautiful
center of attention
even for a moment?
