it ain’t love baby

[Bill]

it ain’t love baby

the best of her self esteem
kept company with the snails
many years of trials and tribulations
and the spirit of who she is still ails

how could she allow him
to reign his terror of defeat
minimizing her best of self
to be but his “piece of meat”

even i embrace an anger
with no place to express it
so i utilize this pen and pad
yet this angst shall never quit

until all who are abused are released
from their anguish and their strife
come my child, take the first step
and let us rectify this life

for you are my sister my friend
it hurts so when you suffer
yet you continually allow him in
as he tells the lie “i love her”

it ain’t love baby
