To her own life.
She knew resistance,
Argument,
Even independent thought,
Might trigger another “incident.”
She sought refuge
Behind her white flag,
Surrendering
To her lot in life.
He broke the rules of engagement,
Leaving her as his first
Casualty of war.
The Geneva Conventions
Never did apply
On the battlefield of matrimony.

This is powerful...marriage can certainly be a battlefield...Great work!
The last line...so good.
Fantastic write!
Very aptly put. Sometimes we surrender to much of ourselves and lose ourselves
Thoughtful, meaningful, very well expressed.
