Paige Marie Poem
As so I was watching a show late last year with my mother
The mother that squeezes me because I'm her daughter,
With kisses she passed me the bowl of chips and we sat down together and watched the t.v flip, flip, flip.
A poor woman living in Pakistan, as pretty as can be,
married a man of wisdom but a man of insanity.
She left the four walls of bricks and dung and left them for conversation and sun,
she scoped the corners with eyes not guns,
and walked into the day - loving the fun,
she ran into her cousin who was shaking to bits,
he hadn't eaten all day, she could loop around his wrists.
She stood and she whimpered and she cried in his arms,
which snapped just like twigs - but that's not what alarmed ,
her,
her,
she was caught with her cousin, speaking about life and soaking the sun in,
her , her.
He found her and grabbed her and dragged her home,
she screamed and she kicked and she said "No! No!"
Her cousin just stared and fell to the ground,he sat there in the heat and placed his head down.
Her husband brought her home and brought her to the kitchen -
he hog tied that beauty and broke all her ribs in.
he took a pair of pliers and snipped off her tongue, and then took a knife and cut her right down.
He stood right above her and looked in her eyes,
he spit in her face, then took her own sight.
” I did this for my honour, I did this because I love her. I cut out her ears so she doesn’t hear things I don’t want her to hear. I also then cut out her eyes because I did not want her to see things I didn’t want her to see.”
And this is exactly who she happened to marry.
She is now undergoing plastic surgery and her husband is sentenced,
14years in prison for all of his actions.
“I have no ears, and have no eyes ; but I can still hear all your lies, you’ve snipped my fingers all right off, all because I had to cough, you’ve snapped my ankles both in two, because I spoke to a man who was not you, you’ve ripped my back open with a heavy axe, I do not think our love will last,you’ve slit both my wrists open wide, if this is ÿour honour”I’d rather so die”.
