I thought I could be strong for you mama To endure the pain and drama The countless whips on my naked body The tears that flow all night. I wish you could read between the lines To hear my soul whisper the pain I felt. Why couldn't you unveil the beast you cuddled daily? Each night the crescent moon floods my room I would watch joy and happiness flee from me Each night, my dignity was stolen, my heart broken My soul ripped apart but I couldn't scream. Did his gifts blind your eyes to your child Did his lies taste like sweet wine? Did my truth taste like bitter kola? Did my tears make you aghast? Will I die in silence? Night after night.
By the time you read this I'll be in my daddy's arms I'll tell him the horror your love committed.
Pay attention to her pain, her tears and her unspoken words.
