jailor

I am both her jailer and her harbour 
how can I expect her to be thankful or happy with me
when I just took her for acupuncture 
made her feel like a porcupine 
and then wanted her to drink a concoction 
she gritted her teeth

I don't think she knows
how I cry for her 
want her woes to go away 
how it tears at me to see her in pain
