The French Woman (Free verse) by libby_28
She sits in the middle of the men
Suitors, eager to have her,
They hold no name.
She is as pretty as the flowers they give her
But as dead inside as they are too.
Her mind, miles away from here,
Placed in a golden field at sunset.
Her wrists, fixed with invisible shackles;
Supple lips tightly sewn shut.
And no on will ever care
Because she is just a French woman
Who sits in the middle of men
With suitors eager to have her.
