How soft this prison is!

How soft this prison isMountain of unwashed dishes,
Am I just the Mrs?

Abuse, a slap and a luncheon
When will this lockdown end-on?

But as the evening approaches and

He crawls next to me
I feel there’s nowhere I want to be
“Come mom lie down you seem tired”
I lay my hand on his
and can’t help but wonder
How soft this prison is!
