| Romancing A Battered Woman |
|
I decided to go back to my husband after he promised that he would not hit again or demean me. I moved back in with him against the adivce of everyone. I wrote a poem about how I came to the decision.
On Saturday, you came to my job with my favorite flowers.
Resting all the powers upon me
Promising me the heavens above
you know all the things that made me
fell in love with you
Sunday, you gave me time to be a sponge
and absorb it all in
Monday, you had a little more to give in
always choosing public places
and
keeping the spaces
Allowing me to control the conversation
Tuesday, you became invisible again to me.
Wednesday, you showed me how desperately
you needed me
Thursday, you left me alone to be
in my own home
Friday, we made love
Saturday, you left again
Sunday, I moved in
Am I doing the right thing?
One Love
