Women in chains

Unloved Woman

I was alone for years…

Like a tree

During the rain.

So when I met this man

It was love at the first sight

I think

Talking hours on the fon

Talking hours over the dinner table

-U are only mine, he whispers for years

– U belong to me, he repeat day after day

I didn’t react when he search my bag, my fon, my Facebook account..

He told me to delete my social media accounts

He told me no need to go to work because he will take care of me

He told me, never go out alone…

I do not like!!

I did not react,

I did not go away

I did not talk to anyone

I keep my secrets deep inside

Without smile

Without tears

One night, they find me

In a foetus position

Cover of blood

He stubbed me with the kitchen knife….

After we had celebrated our 5th anniversary

The police described the whole scene

As

Crime of passion.

………..

Speak up!!!!

Open the door and run!!!!

Do not afraid!!!
