Black heart

Princess Osariemen Aihie

  Crying all day

  Regretting and gnashing my teeth

  Thinking the man I married;

 was my husband 

 He acted all nice 

 Laughing and cuddling 

Serving breakfast on bed

never knew he was breaking my heart

Years come

He pounces on me

My face painted with black and red bruises

all because of slaps and punches 

My body covered with belt marks

 

Last time I asked 

Should I report?

I tried

I did 

It became worse

no one was on my side

Others said

He is your hubby

Some exclaimed furiously 

You are stubborn 

Some said

Bear the burden 

The beating got worse

even tried to report to authorities

They encouraged him

I guess I would just bear the pain

My question is should I bear or still report?
