A poem dedicated to all women
8 March
A month for women
For justice
I was alone for years…
Like a tree
During the rain
So when I met this man
It was love at the first sight
I think
Talking hours on the fon
Talking hours over the dinner table
-U are only mine, he Wispers for years
– U belong to me, he repeat day after day
I didn’t react when he search my bag, my fon, my Facebook account..
He told me to delete my social media accounts
He told me no need to go to work because he will take care of me
He told me, never go out alone…
I do not like!!
I did not react,
I did not go away
I did not talk to anyone
I keep my secrets deep inside
Without smile
Without tears
One night, they find me
In a foetus position
Cover of blood
He stubbed me with the kitchen knife….
After we had celebrated our 5th anniversary
The police described the whole scene
as
Crime of passion
Speak up!!!!
Open the door and run!!!!
Do not affraid!!!
