Do you think this is funny? Do find this amusing?
Yesterday it was boiling oil, today it is knives
Did I do something wrong to deserve your abusing?
What made you want to take my darlings’ lives?
You promised to love me forever and a day
But this does not feel quite right to me
You never once offered to throw a toy or play
You have taken my eyes so I can no longer see.
I cannot remember what kindness looks like
Or the way love glimmers in one’s eyes
I can only feel the tip of your sharp spike
And the feasting of hungry flies.
The heat from the sun has singed my hide
You starve my spirit and my body alike
But no matter what I remain by your side,
Even if it means facing your deadly spike.
