Life Of A Slave

Since it's the month of February and it's also Black History Month, I wrote something that could be classified as a poem or a story-line/scenario (?). Hope you enjoy!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Whip after whip

Lash after lash

and scream after scream

Nothing made him stop 

No matter how much I tried to escape his grip

He ceaselessly beats and tortures me with no sign of stopping


All of a sudden I am thrown onto the cold, hard concrete floor

The sound of a belt unbuckling and a zipper being undone echoes throughout the room

Fear was leaking out of me in waves

and the tension in the air was so thick it couldn't have cut with a sword

I am flipped onto my injured back

hissing, feeling open flesh against a cold surface

The sadistic smile on his face was enough for me to know;

I may or may not make it out alive, and he was hoping for the opposite of what I was hoping

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As I look at him and our child

questions and emotions swirl around my mind like a never-ending whirlpool

"Did he plan this or was it really an 'accident'"?

"Does this mean he loves me?"

When I refocused I see him looking back at me

A whole bunch of emotions and emotions were swarming his dark blue eyes;

regret, loss, worry, anger and....love?

......Could it be?
