WEATHER FOR TWO

The night was getting darker

And her light skin shone like sunlight

So bright it lit up the room

With everything in it including him

The rain had just began to perch on the sun beaten roof

Drop by drop till it graduated into unpleasant rhythm

And she was the quiet one

Who always tended to his wounds

The mother of his children, the legal slave

She would always sacrifice her ambitions for his

Try not to displease him so all she did was to appease

From her cooked meals to his clothing’s

From his patches to soul longings

Always to blame for every miscarriage in activities

She was everything but a wife, confidant, best friend 

And he was god the figure of a man

So like other nights he came

With hands on her

Searching the receipt of what he thought she was worth

Of what he had bought

She laid like a corpse with breathe

A statue with a heart

He never looked into her

But he always went into her

Not to repair the broken pieces

But to multiply the rubbles

He never placed value on her

Guess she never had any
