LAMENTATION OF A TORTURED WOMAN - 1

At the announcement of your presence 
My blood ran like the sounds of hell were chasing them 
Causing my heart to beat faster out of fear
Yet, at the sight of your handsomeness 
My soul suddenly becomes peaceful
At the sound of your voice 
Like in the midst of the sounds of angels
My heart rejoices
As though it were listening to the song of the angels 

Little did I know I would soon be engulfed in perilous darkness 
That your mischievous smile 
Will soon turn a burning frown
That those hands, soothing as soft clouds 
Will soon descend upon my face 
Turn my sexy lingerie into rags 
And leave painful marks all over my erogenous zones

I am left to wonder everyday 
What changed?
Because…
You are definitely not the man I married
