Healed With Time Poem by Little Star

For the first ten long years since they made their solemn vows
He had not showed her much love and kindness
But bruises, pains, and heartaches,
Too many instances of mental and physical torture he gave

He hit her hard on her face, she got thrown meters away
Before she managed to get up on her knees
He kicked her hard on her back

A locked jaw coupled with pain in the spinal column, she moaned
If she had to eat, she had to flatten up the food on the spoon
Her tears falling down, blending with the rain
He did not send her to a doctor, she ached in the gloom
She couldn’t get away, he locked her in the room

The scar on her right cheek was still visible
The earring buried in blood where his hand on her right face fall
The bruises on her arms, shoulders and lower breast
Have healed with time, as her heart did forgive

She tried to be a good wife and a good mother
He had all her love and time, even every minute of her own
She asked God in her lonely hour where she had gone wrong
Or did he see her like a fool because she just loved more?

He wouldn’t want to talk to her if it wasn’t about money
He looked at her as if she was his enemy
She thought if his girlfriends were too good in bed
She tried to be good too and beautiful just for him
Or were they just good because they were younger than her?

Ten long years and she survived
And she wanted to stay for more
His mother left him when he was three years old
No one else to understand him better than she could

She always believed God is watching
She believed God wouldn’t give her anything she can’t bear
More years with him she prays she can survive, she will survive…
She could work things out, she just needed to be strong

She believed prayers can do wonders
She hold on to her faith for grace above
She always tried to hold back the tears and set sorrows aside
With God in her heart, she knows she can survive, she will survive…
