Locked In A Cage

Locked in a cage
mental and physical despair
even she seems to age
her husband isnt playing fair

She stays locked up
he goes out
drinks dry every cup
leading only to shout

He gets home too late
she knows he goes to
someone else
to clear his plate

She knows what's going on
yet does not say a word
just lives her life wishing to be gone
she hates this world

Not able to leave
he is ashamed of her
he will not heave
her there to here

A couple so lost
so gaged
worst than most
locked in a cage
