As the sun
falls prey to the night;
A song of hope
takes over the silence –
It is that time
where her husband
comes bearing a
set of violence
around his hands -:
A moment of silence
as she wears her make-up
hoping it will wake-up
the spark that was
put to bed
the moment she
fell victim to
his first beating –
She has never tried
this trick before;
“Desperate times calls
for desperate measures”
Right?
You see,
It was after
he lost his job
that he whispered
to her ears;
“I’d rather lose you to death
than to somebody else
because, only that way
we will both be at peace”
