Acquiesce – definition: to accept, agree, or give consent by keeping silent or by not raising objections.
I wrote a poem on this word – I hope you like it. As always comments are more than welcome.
My Acquiesce, My Love
You break our date moments before you are to arrive
I gaze at my reflection, all dressed up
But I keep quiet and say it’s OK
Days goes past without a word
Tension builds within to call
But I refrain from becoming a burden
A knock at the door, it’s you
I’m overjoyed and smile thankfully
You give no apology just expect compliance
A crowded room, many strange faces
I cling to your arm, anxious
You shake my hand away, discarded
An offer you accept with no thought of me
Dismissed and shown the door
A bus trip home, crying in submission
You pick me up when it pleases
Dropped quickly when not
My obedience, my love I cling
Moments are all I am given
Treasured and remembered
Without you I am nothing
