When she heard of me
With smite she spat saliva on me
Me* could feel the stench of it
But fortitude fought for me
My smile spread across my farce
I couldn’t face any farce
The love of my life had taken me already
Facing us directly with a fake smile
She whispered, “Come in my children.”
I felt her pinch behind my left arm,
I bothered less sauntering in like a majesty
The love of my life had taken me already.
Speeches proceeded meals
My hungry stomach rumbled in unison
I couldn’t hold my yawns any more
My bladder failed me again
Twice, thrice, I made trips to the washrooms
The flush made everyone uncomfortable
Me* bothered less,
The love of my life had taken me already
Tables turned at the eleventh hour,
The handsome one closed and slammed me a door.
Exit was the world I had last
I couldn’t figure out all these
I thought for a second
The love of my life had taken me already
Relax babe
A voice whispered,
Relax sweetheart,
A warm tap felt deep down my spine,
Why would someone be so cruel?
I recalled everything in unison
Yet everything was done by men in uniform
They recalled something and laughed!
The love of my life had taken me already
The trauma was mind blowing
I couldn’t picture everything else, crystal clear,
The love of my life had taken me already,
I had to let go all grotesque images of pain and agony!
