Trapped.

 

She keeps hanging on to him

Like a flea

Even till the time when her flesh turned flabby

And her skin became wrinkled

And she seved no other

Aestethic purpose.

There was no reason for them to be together

But still she hung on

Like a fly in agony hangs

Stuck to a cobweb.

Because she is entangled

She is trapped

Transfixed.

And still she keeps hanging on to him.
