The butterfly effect of 2004🦋
Do we sometimes wish we hadn't said the things we said long ago?
Or just hope that you could hop into a time portal to erase that indelible mistake?
One word I said broke the bond between what used to be an inseparable duo
In the year 2004, I had reached the crossroads that would make or mar my fate
That dreadful party is till this day forever etched in my memory
The nightmare replays when I shut my eyes as I relive the images of the red cups and his heated body above me
Because I said yes, I terminated my relationship with my Creator
And my end result was an early offspring without a father
After 16 years, the memory of that party was still fresh in my mind
He was crazy about me after I gave him my consent at the party
They're not wrong when they say love is blind
We dated even though I could clearly see he was stained with immorality
He was a shameless drunk and a molester
But I stuck along because we were the town's most envied love birds
He was a beautiful work of art indeed but that's where his attributes ended
I thought it'd get better since he had quite the sweet tongue which made me melt
When he whispered apologies into my ear after he had in anger hit me with his belt
To this day I wish I had said no at the altar
Then maybe I wouldn't have ended up with a marriage that was totally marred
Maybe I would still have my family to fall back on
By saying yes to an unapproved man I was disowned by my own family
Affirming to him that he was a psycho in need of help must have been the last straw
I still hear the last resounding slap he gave me
Before the drunken driver slammed his car into my husband's body
He left behind a wife who had been only two weeks ahead
16 years ago, I had many goals and ambitions
I had not even dreamt I would end up as an undergraduate and a single mummy
It's funny how the word yes could have such grave repercussions
By going six feet under, he erased the the trance he had put me into completely
I wasn't blinded by our so called love anymore
His absence didn't hurt as much as it did before
Before the devastating decision of 2004,
God was the only person I ever longed for
I thought I was not capable of being loved
When that's all from my Lord I had ever experienced
I cherish our daughter notwithstanding
She makes me strive to be a better person
We can't ever erase the butterfly effect caused by a single blunder of our past
But that doesn't mean He won't offer us a second chance
By grabbing this chance, we invite Him back into our hearts
So that each day will have in store a new blessing for us
Be careful what you say yes to
You never know the consequences that decision will bring you
**stay safe**❤️
