a band of gold around your finger
shouldn’t feel like bracelets made of steel
you should feel his arm around your shoulders
not his hands around your throat
that is not love

Thanks Melanie, I did like this and in my humble opinion it fits the prompt well. I know that feeling of marriage feeling like a confinement….the words bracelets sums it up so well.
Thanks too for stopping by my blog today…
Well thank you kindly 🙂 And my pleasure stopping by…
A powerful piece made stronger by its brevity.
Thanks, Chris.
Absolutely perfect!
Thank you!

Hmmm…. Much said, in a few words
Thanks!
Nicely expressed and yes, love is open and gentle not like a vise or grip on your heart. Melanie, thanks for this reminder. Perfect for the US and the way our news on inappropriate behavior of someone famous. It is important to be focusing in on personal rights.
Sorry for such a delayed response…haven’t been on the blog in far too long. Thank you!
