Paralyzed in Cold Sheets

It was just a moment ... but it felt like ages...!

Paralyzed in Cold Sheets

She closes her eyes, hoping to see anything except his face. She can feel his heavy weight upon her like a burden. She pushes him, as a last desperate attempt to see if he will feel her … but it’s all in vain.

 

They are united in the closest way that could ever bring two bodies together … yet, each one of them remained in his own world. Souls apart, their hearts are so distant in her eyes. She shuts her eyes even harder as if that would prevent her from feeling anything anymore… but disgust saturates her. She lowers her arms on the bed, which seemed cold with her sadness, finally admitting that she no longer has the power to resist him. Yet, he doesn’t seem to care less to look for the arms of his wife to hold him.   

 

She had her eyes fixed upon him but her repulsion grew more intense that she could no longer see him … he was another man. She turned her head staring at the naked wall of her bedroom, and watched it narrowing more and more to end up enclosing on her lungs. The rest of her body seemed paralyzed and numb, exactly like her thoughts.     

 

He was soon done, and as usual didn’t take much time, but this moment just seemed so long and infinite with the torture of her moaning soul. He gets up to take his shower while she remains dead in the coldness of her bed sheets … she covers her nude body not to see the traces of this humiliating and degrading act. He says that he had made love to her. But she says that he had just proven her his hate.

Author's Note

It's supposed to be one reflection ... but I seriously might add it to my book, that would be called pages from a Woman's Diary

Truly a sad event, and you capture it quite well.

"They are united in the closest way that could ever bring two bodies together … yet, each one of them remained in his own world. " - good line
Sometimes the acts that should be most loving end up being selfish.
