Woke
or did I?
Was I already awake?
It was morning
it may have been morning!
Unable to tell
how long I’d been sleeping
What you left
was not worth keeping.
I couldn’t move
my body numb
Black and blue
from your fist kiss
How much love
to bash in my head?
Another day
I’ll have to hide in bed
My face hurts
so swollen
I think my jaw
is broken.
No-one can see me
in this state
They’ll misread your love
as pure hate.
Sober
you are different
so gentle,
so kind.
You beg for forgiveness
and promise
last time.
You’re so remorseful
with tears
in your eyes.
Just like the last time
I believe your lies.
Yet, this time is different
quite different
you see.
When you leave.
go off to work today
I'll take my reprieve.
The only solution
a sacrifice
I'll take my own life.
To save myself
and no longer
be
your wife!
