She lives in fear
of the day she'll wake
to find him
Gone...
Fed up with her
and her
inadequacies
Never has she been 
perfect,
but now she lives
hollowed out by
worry-
She sits in silence
as the days go
by
Believing
it is the way things
must be...
Silence is safe-
she finds solace from
the fear
But now she's trapped,
never to roam free
again
For leaving surely means deceit-
and deception...
will be her undoing

             Here she sits
             and lives in fear
