If I had the power
I could stop my heart from loving him
I could wake up and walk away
I could remember him no more
But I don't have the power
l am weak and desperate
l am tied down by a small thing
too powerful to resist
he is too attractive to ignore
he is a good husband
always flirting with other girls
making sure to be represented in each homestead
he is a pain killer to all who seek satisfaction
he is the best dad ever
always rewarding his children with slaps
whenever they ask for school fees
their faces smiling, their hearts hurting
so loving he is, that he doesn't sleep In our bed
because am now out of fashion
he wants fresh flowers not the withered ones
I never see him smile, a tissue can never be reused
