The Demon Inside

when i first noticed

It had been four five months since our marriage . I was still in love and so was he .. well..... ...apparantly . It started on 3rd march . He came home late at night at around one . He used to get stuck up with work sometimes so i assumed he had been in his office and as usual i was waiting for him on the dining table . I had never had dinner before him . That wasnt a compulsion but just a way of showing how much he mattered to me . I heard the door bang open. My heart leaped with joy and i was about to start serving dinner for us but then i looked up. He stood there in the dark with a bottle of alcohol which i had heard him swear that he never had ! He groped his way inside . I held my breath. I tried to calm myself down . He loves me he would never do anything to me but i had no idea that i was just a toy for him. A dove that he had trapped in a cage just for pleasure . He came and gripped my hand and made me stand . Then he asked me weather i had had my dinner . I shook my head . He asked me what had i prepared for dinner . I showed him the salmon and mashed potatoes . He took the bowl and threw it on the floor . The glass bowl shattered into a million peices like my courage and the wounds it caused made my arm bleed . He took the blood in his hands and smeared it on my face .
