An Unspoken tragedy

I gazed above
At the dark blanket
Dotted with fairy dust and shimmering stars
Each one formed an impression on my skin
Purple bruises and red scars

They married me off to a monster
Adept not with love but whips and canes
Despise is all I get when caress is what I only craved for
Locked under these subjected chains

Even my dreams have recasted into nightmares
My eyes are withered with no more tears to impart
The blights on my face might heal
But those on my chest will slowly rot away my heart

I sank into a crushing despond
Staring outside, while I continued to pry
I know where my freedom now lies
Deep inside the untrodden sky
