Domestic Violence - Adeniji Adenike by adepoj99(m): 9:03pm On Dec 04, 2017 |
Now I know why the caged bird sings It sings for the freedom once felt It cries out in pain Shackled and held down to the ground of the cage It all started with a smile, A handshake, A hug, A dinner date And gradually you took my life away I saw the signs But I took no cognizance of it You are capable of no wrong My independence, My job I gave up for you Then my friends followed A slap But it was just a mistake Then they came rolling in like claps of thunder Oh they are just reflex actions that come to play when you are angry My skin bears the map of your love You break me with each slap Each punch I lay down there watching the life and fight seep out of me With each thrust Each grunt And each moan you make as you violate me every night I beg to leave But no, you can’t live without me I’m a possession of yours There’s no one to talk to Nowhere to go I’m alone in this world I live each day hoping it will be my last I so know why the caged bird sings https://ogadepoju..com.ng/2017/12/domestic-violence-adeniji-adenike.html?m=1 |
