Denied justice, concealing her shame from society.

Reclusive tears settling upon a lake of a broken soul.

A nightmare, these things she endures.

All behind closed doors.


Belie he appears to be perfect.

A mirage, an illusion from a master of disguise.

Carefully he does plot each move.

Like in a game of chess.

He is the king, she is his pawn.


A marriage yes,

a partnership no.

For he controls all that happens,

behind closed doors.
