Streets of Darkness
Rummaging streets in darkness,
sob caught my awareness,
I paused a bit in anticipation;
then, I noticed a girl sitting
upon a sewerage, I moved to ask
what harm her ecstasy.
I married my hubby a few years
ago and I once have a
twins daughter, but they died after
three weeks they were born.
Days after, my man broke his vows,
I woke as a female in his hand.
He used his mouth like
that of parrot to mislead me.
I was ultra besotted with
him, is as the sky and celestial
objects. I yield to all his
utterance. He told me to put
aside my learning, a
year to end my S.H. grade.
Though, I should have
Learnt handiwork, but he
convinced me It is time
to get married. He would
be the dimple and smile
within my cheek. I'm the ocean,
he is the wave upon, he
would stand by me; I should
not fear and he would be
everything. They told me those
days, but I am a Deaf, I even
fought them for not let me do my want.
Now, peace elude my air,
I'm hanging around at night.
He sent me out to my
parent whose my habit
toward them then,
was like a cat and mouse.
I should be the one to die
instead of the innocent infants.
