Another Man's house

by Arun Khan   Oct 10, 2007


''Get on your knees
Look down to the floor
Quit it, top saying please
You can't get out I've locked the door
Now what are you going to do
Nothing , your nothing without me
Listen carefully to what I tell you
There's no one to help, no one can hear you plea
Stop crying filth
There's no one you can turn to''

He keeps hitting her as he shouts
No one wants to hear
No one wants to create doubts

''Please no, no more
No no no
Let me get up from the floor
I promise I'll do good
I swear I'll treat you the way a real woman should
I'll make dinner honey
Please, no I didn't take any money''

He hits her with fists
Her lip is torn
He kicks her as she twists
She wonders if the baby can still be born

He looks more and more like a monster
As he hits, his body begins to want her

''You like it like that
Don't you
You're a dirty little rat
This is the way you want it too
Yeah this is it baby!''

He hits her again,
Rips her dress
She looks helplessly at picture;
He was so sweet back then
He gets what he wants
It's been like this for a long time
She can't remember happiness
He beats her always
Rapes her the way he likes it
She weeps every night as she prays
Kisses him goodnight, she's all black and blue
He looks at her and smiles ''I love you''

He hits her as he shouts
No one wants to hear
No one wants to enter another man's house.
