Incentive

it is the blackness around her eyes

lying under layers of white

it is the silence when she cries

broken by herself, no one else

it is the pills that offer to kill the pain

replaced by laughter at the right time

it is the climactic pain shared with him

audibly made to be pleasant relief

it is the ensuing, eternal, internal disgust

thrust aside by another loveless love

it is the needed protection from the protector

unvoiced because he is also the listener

it is these things and more

A wonderful expression of all the conundrum that resides in a woman and what she needs. Really well expressed!

Thank you so much!

When one forms a bond and they are the listener it is hard to advance on that, a conundrum of sorts...

I agree. Thanks for reading!
