A dead child is worth the love
S/he is lucky to not be born
But are you?
Oh, you were birthed alright.
But you died a few years back
When his fist first found your pretty face
Only this time, it wasn’t in adoration
Come to think of it,
It’s your fault shey?
You somehow caused it
How could you dare to not be perfect
Such guts you have to be a clumsy being
To have friends come over or talk to family members
When you have him.
How dare you work or even have a life
Didn’t you swear on the alter to be his and his alone
He loves you, he can never hurt you
And every pelt you felt
Was well deserved, right?
Darling, you’re doing just fine innit?
And all those nosy friends that just won’t mind their business. Pffft.
They don’t understand your clumsiness
And how you’re always tripping and running into doors
Or hitting and scratching yourself on walls
He loves you, he’ll never hurt you.
Who are you to complain anyways
After all, there are tons of women out there
Who’ll kill to call him theirs
Nobody is perfect.
You’re indeed lucky dear
So, your child died in you when you accidentally slipped again today.
And while he snores lightly in that delightful way you love
You cry.
Tears running down like tiny rivers pooling at an ocean.
And you cry for your dead baby.
But darling, when will your mother cry?

somewhere along d line d woman still stays cos she’s hoping he will change, and maybe she could still feel love even if it’s just little at least he still care about her, and someday will compliment her hair and listen to her when she speaks.
maybe I’m wrong, maybe I’m not.

as u ve said, @honouragbeblog, maybe you are wrong or maybe you are right… even in d face of the abuse, he still shows her love sometimes. i am talking from experience, not in marriage but in my relatnship. in d first year of my relationship, i had to deal with this abuse, but now, iam happy i endured it becos it couldnt av been beta. how did dis happened, i practically changed him tru prayers and love. well i am not saying this will work for every lady or woman but there is a lot we can do as a woman to change the abusive husband.

Like a loner she weeps in tear(s)
Deep,her heart rips with fear
For the crime she committed not
Why on earth did I tie the knot
I m as good as a destitute all refused
How it came to this I am so confused
Is some listening ? with rectitude
In my dream I wish i have the fortitude
Its a world weere backlashing is the attitude
Of the dominant multitude
The girl child for you I pray
A future not like mine, wherever you stay.
