Trapped

Exhausted, Celia laid in bed.

Staring at a cockroach trapped on a spider web.

She laid in bed, motionless.

Thinking of what she had done two minutes ago.

In a matter of seconds she had chocked and mutilated him.

She had cut his hands, cut his throat and his manly *****

In her mind he kept insulting and belittling her,

but she had been stronger.

She had defended herself.

He could no longer take advantage of her.

Celia saw how the cockroach gasped for her last breath

while the spider started to rip her apart starting with her heart.

 

But as always when the sun peeked through the window,

Celia saw him there,

sleeping beside her.

A dormant lion, who would soon come for his prey.
