To My Beloved Husband

(Reverse poem)
 

it’s all my fault that our union is 
without fruit.

i do not believe that

i still deserve respect as your wife.

this empty cradle is a twisting 
knife in both our hearts but 

I am happy to say that

I am the one who is barren, go
ahead and marry a second wife

i will never ever tell you 

to go and see a fertility doctor.

I know that you fear

being judged by your family all the time.

It’s also not nice for me,

you have been a good husband to me.

I have no reason to tell you that

I regret getting married to you.

I can in all honesty say

I don’t want to wallow in the past anymore 

it’s time to sow seeds for a brighter hereafter.

All I want is a stress free life

having said that,

i can’t imagine life without you…

I’d be lying if i told you that 

I’ve learnt to love myself.

I’m sure by now you realise that

I’ll always place your pride above my joy.

You are wrong to assume that

I will raise hell

the next time your sister spits on my face 
and calls me a mule,

I am a lot wiser and stronger now.

whenever your parents shun me

it’s water off a duck’s back for me
