Living In Fear

You’ve left your mark on me today,
One I feel won’t go away.

You have placed a scar so deep inside,
So many nights I’ve laid awake and cried.

I vowed my love you stole my life,
Leaving me confused and full of strife.

The rainbows have left our wedded bliss,
Dark clouds follow your demanding kiss.

No one sees the pain I feel,
Caused by you and fear is real.

What have I done to make you hate,
The one simply known to be your mate.

My love I give freely and without recourse,
But you think you need to use brute force.

The wedding vows you made to me, 
I took serious and cherished don’t you see.

If I’ve done you wrong then please forgive,
This is no way for a person to live.

I have equal rights in this day and age,
And they don’t include your wrath or rage.
