Don't You See Poem by Mahfooz Ali

At times I have a tendency
to hurt as much as you
You may think I am stronger but..
What I say is true...

At times my eyes do weep
I'm only human can't you see?
Do you not see the way
your abuse is turning me...

Do you not notice the way
I shudder when you're near?
Don't you see with your own eyes
I cover now in fear...?

Is this the way you wish
for this child now to be?
Have you no love at all
for your Husband, me?
