Domestic Love

Domestic Love

A Poem by Michael Mercado

She was just 16, met him in high school

She wasn't looking for a boyfriend, but he appeared to be a nice dude

They hit it off quickly, date after date

A few months later she felt he was her soul mate

 

Little did she know the events that would take place

Petty arguments that escalate to his hands across her face

Sleepless nights with feelings of disgrace 

For staying in a relationship she could no longer take

 

Too afraid to tell, too in love to leave 

She thinks about the countless times he left her unable to breathe

The blood stained carpet mixed in with her shed tears

Hardly ever ate anymore, she was only fed fear

 

Now she was expecting

Unknowing of know what to do, her thoughts began collecting

She wouldn't bring a child to this home with his blatant disrespecting

She finally realized there is no chance of reconnecting

 

She went out the next day asking a friend for some sort protection

He told her "just aim and shoot it'll only take a second"

She sat calmly on the couch patiently waiting for him to enter

As soon as he walked in, she knew it was now or never

She gave him one last memory of her remember

 

 

 

It's never ok to hit a woman and vice versa. Whatever it leads to is never a good thing.
