BE MY PEACE

BOUND IN HELL

You got me flowers and a new car
Your grand apology for my new scars
It's the first time you hit me
A slap across my face
While I crumble to my knees

Why did I have to poke your anger
If only I had done better
Wallowing in my own self pity
Inside my head your voice invades
"You know I love you, and this was just a mistake "

Woken by your touch in the dead of night
I pull away slightly to my right
Aggressively with a grip so tight
Pinned down on my face and my clothes torn off my back
This tiny body can't even put up a fight
Tears rolling down my cheeks, begging for daylight

Two bouquets of flowers accompanied by diamonds
Another gesture to say I'm sorry
Gentle kiss to my head while I stand stunned
Frightened by what might come next
Won over by the thought of being hexed

Acceptance of this new reality
An uncomfortable feeling in my belly
Testimony of my darkest fears
Plagued with new life in my womb
Another reason to remain bound in hell
