All I did was tuck my honey in
He’d wait patiently under the duvet
I’d do my face routine
Then love’s wind will swing ‘nd sway
His co-worker always called late at night
I know my baby is a hardworker
But doing it till late hours just isn’t right
I’d answer and stop this forever
But to hear another call my honey- bunny
Pierced my heart like a spear would
She said my baby is her sweetie
Heavens pray tell why she could
Beating him to stupor
Was a tip of the berg
I was bound to do more
If I hadn’t met him dead on the bed
You may call it karma
But to me Odine came for vengeance
The sthetoscope sir called it sleep apnea
So many diagnosis but no reappearance
He’s gone!
Had he been here
He’d never have said sorry
He’d rather term me a shrew
His son?
That’s my only fear
But don’t you worry
I’ll be the strongest dad he ever knew!
Please call me a witch
A wicked and wretched pretender
You must insult to your fill
Call me one who carries charm in her purse
Lest your supposed conscience begins to itch.
Honestly I am a believer
But still…
I say ‘ Blessed be Odine’s curse’!
Wow! What an intense narrative poem! You do such a good job setting the tone and building the tension here.
