Enough

So you say you love me,
Oh, so says the scars all over my body,
the beatings continue, even as I barely see,
my cry for help, in your ears like a melody.

Everyday it is a continuum,
The verbal abuse, the worthless feeling
The fear of your coming home, making me numb,
the way you say "my darling", with your false smile beaming

And then you come begging everytime,
saying you were sorry, it's the devil's work,
that you are a changed man, there won't be a next time,
Alas you touched me again, this time till I turned to a pulp.

This will be the last time, I swear on my dead fetus grave,
I am leaving, before you turn me into a murderer as I envision your falling frame_20180217_135708.JPG
