POEM
Why did you hurt me?
Don’t look at me with shameful silence

Why did you hurt me? For I waited here with heart in my hand, Twirled around you, giving everything that I had, owed what I could, but you stood there and watched me burn in sorrows, pitting me against a super structure of an impenetrable fortress that never could find any resonance; not even my words, songs, musings, whispers or just my voice.

Why did you beat me? For I had hope, I had a glittery aspiration, what we could have been, a family with children, a family blessed by God, beings that were intertwined for life, to be your wife, but alas I became a mere body for you meant to be used, fused internally to your agony, for you imprinted me with scars, considered me subhuman, to be your emotional punching bag, dragged and let down again, again and again. And, I came running back every time. I guess I enabled your callous attitudes, you never looked back, you just went wherever life took you.

Why did you mistreat me? I gave you all that I could, even if it was too much to take. You ignored me when times got tough. Took out all the angst and stress that made you boil inside out on me. Did you ever think what I was feeling all this time? You were committing a crime, taking me for a ride, unfurling your thick hide, the sinister face that hides in human skin.

You knew what you were doing, you had it planned and got your plan going. your sensational mind had the frontiers carved, woods planted, bamboo shoots placed, the line demarcated, to abuse, misuse, and reuse the power of love, back at me. Took advantage of the affection I had for you. You know I would come back. You knew you had your hands choking my neck.
You knew I was gasping for air, You just had to push your fingers more to take it to the next level, where there is no point of return. It taught me lessons, many lessons in fact, for that’s why I do not miss you, nor do your kids miss you at your funeral. I am not sorry babe that you died! And I am happy I had a part in ending you. Took a load off of fragile Mother Earth!!!!
