an evil spiders web weaved between
mother and son
against husband and wife
you fall prey
to her poison
hidden behind a mask of religion
good intentions
other dimensions
do you not see
the worst fights of our life
come when her words
like ice
freeze our happiness
in zip lock bag
stagnation
you’re too busy feeding
your temper
your emotional outbursts
sap the strength from this queen
leave her drawn and used and fused
with confusion
making her soul a husk
you spend your time
living life in four cornered restriction
perfect diction
the diameter points of a perfect fade
military brigade
you march in place and wear out the carpet
i move around you
secretly living my life, my dreams
committed to you
yet committed to myself
my own happiness
which you always monitored or stopped
with your words
but my life
my dreams continue
and when they bloom outside of your peripheral vision
you now try to stop it
