Heart Of A Married Woman Poem by Kwenadi Gaaje

Its said to be a rope of love that unites two hearts that are betrothed to be one
A chain of eternal peace
A cable tie made in "I DO'S"
But will a heart of a married woman ever be at peace?

I loved and betrothed to give and selflessly share my life
No matter the pain i'd endure
For i am told to hold on to the words i utteredin front of God.
But LORD! Have i ever said i'd bow down to beatings and endless bleeding of the heart?

I ammaiden
I have blood and veins of a man
I know i betrothed to to be the bone of his own flesh
But LORD! How do i become a bone of a flesh that drags my dignity to the mud?
A bone that fails to protect my sanity and my identity?

A life of a married maiden
Feels like a fairy'tale gone wrong
Or maybe its story wort to be told
For all the dreams, desires of the heat
got trapped in the hands of a man whom i betrothed to give my soul to......

Heart of s troubled married wife
Cries endless tears
For it yearns only for words of love and that of peace
It longs to see the very old man she met and made a husband out of.
OH! LORD! Where did we go wrong?
How come my marriage feels like a paradise of pain
And a fountain of lamentation?
