to love you, care for you, nurture you,
Day in, day out, you neglected me.
I faded away into the corner of your heart,
forgotten, covered in cobwebs.
I am aggrieved.
In my aggrieved state I dressed up,
"visit your friends today, it's what normal people do"
I told myself as I got ready.
On getting to the mall, I met Ayo.
"It's been so long Dera" he said hugging me.
I am writing this with my body battered.
Battered because you beat me up,
"How could you hug another so tight?"
You repeated as you rained down punches.
Even as tears flowed down my once pretty face,
A face now accentuated and highlighted with scars,
I remember I got here because I was unappreciated.
Unappreciated by family and friends,
Left alone to face the cold world,
Nothing I did could make the love me,
Then you waltzed in.
What a joyous day it was, little did I know,
Know that I was heading, not just to the altar, but to the slaughter.
It's a slaughterhouse here.
You have sex with me when you want or starve me after a romp with your whores,
Hitting me at the slightest provocation is now your hobby.
My body is tired. My spirit is broken.
Watching Nat. Geo wide, I see myself in them,
The species been broadcasted. I am an endangered.
