Goodness Lanre Poet Rhyme

To a Dead Husband

From the day
Our paths met
And you took my heart prey
My joy away you kept.

Of your deceptive love.
I was a slave, a bond woman
My joy now you are dead.
I wish I could in your death
Beat, exude my pains
By your flexed muscles
And kill you again.

I am sad
Though happy you are gone
For you, mis-sought, I feel bad
Glad for you are done.
 
May angels carry you
Devilish ones...
Tortures of current of fire
Beastly treatment
For you are a beast...

Shame you
Gone I am free
To start my life anew
FREE.

Pace Ink-U-Script July 19, 2013 at 10:31 PM Oh how powerfully written this is....I feel the pain that this woman has experienced...and not just this particular female but all of whom that were actually victims to domestic abuse. Great write my friend. Goodness Lanre July 20, 2013 at 5:04 AM THanks Poet Friend. Really appreciate your stoppin by.
