He Hit Her

Agoo CEP Sefogah He hit her It was just a momentary lapse I'm sorry He told her I saw you being so free and laughing with him And when I saw you run into his arms in an embrace I lost it I couldn't hold myself together I freaked out My heart sunk deep into my body I felt I was losing it all So I over-reacted But Baby I'm sorry This too he told her This is the first time I ever laid hands on you And it will be the last I promised This also he told her that faithful evening When they got back home After a long drive of awkward silence And heightened tension Thoughts run through her mind She knew what to do She knew she had to address the issue with all seriousness And rapt attention She has seen an aspect of him She had never ever seen before Was I in bed with a monster all these while? Or did I grow too blind I failed to read the warning signs? She thought to herself But I love him I don't want to lose him She told herself It's just one of those things He didn't mean it So I'll still stay and help him overcome that edge I know I can reach out to him She encouraged herself Everything was all right It was as if such a thing had never happened They seem to have forgotten And as far as she was concerned He promised not to ever, ever And she trusted him with all her life once more But what she didn't know was To him The hardest step was the first And that he freely took in public It felt good to him He was being superior He wouldn't take no nonsense from her Neither will he take it lightly to have his opinions challenged by her He knew he had to put her right And so once more he hit her Baby I knew I promised it wouldn't happen again But I failed you And I'm Sorry You made me look like nothing in front of everyone And I apologized for how I acted Please for the sake of our love Look pass this I deserve a second chance Please But you already had your second chance And you again hit me I didn't take you for such a man So you, No I, I'm sorry I can't put up with this nonsense anymore I'm leaving you I'm done If only she had stood her grounds and left She wouldn't have been where she is right now Lying there, barely alive and breathing Bruised body, swollen face, one eye As the bars kept dropping on her life support She realised how big a mistake she had made Her parents had to painfully take the decision She could hear them clearly but she can't speak back Even if she did they wouldn't hear She has a strong heart and a strong spirit But her body That can't go on any longer It has survived a decade of abuse and torture from him And like always she never told anyone Now her family's decision is to terminate her life support The bill was too much It was eating up her every hard earned money She lay there All she thought to herself was God I'm screwed I allowed this to happen to me I failed myself and the many others out there like me who need my voice So May you not be like me My may son not grow to be like him Woman are not objects they are lovely beings Treat them with respect, not a blow And don't let this get to the first point like hers For all it took was just one blow When He Hit Her Megborna
