She walks to the altar and the priest asks what do u fear.?
She whispers, I fear not today for I am happy today. I fear though that I am marrying an animal; wounded in pain and has lost all confidence, whose paws are thorned and bleeding, shaven, broken but a beast nonetheless.
I fear that I will bath and nurse him, pull out the thorns and bandage his wounds, brush his mane of glory, feed him, sharpen his claws with my bare hands. Give him teeth where he has none, hustle and toil, pay his debts, tire my body and spirit while he regains his strength.
Then one day he will stand, shake his body and raise his paws against me and roar."I am in charge, you are lesser than me..everything you own is mine, you are mine!"
I fear I will not be surprised, I knew he was a beast after all.
why does that sound so familiar.... unthinkable yet...
ReplyDeletefamiliar it is...
Deletebecause it is unthinkable, however majority of couples may be living this life of fear, with no end in sight.
ReplyDeleteukweli mtupu..............but very sad
ReplyDeleteOuch! But so true. Fairy tales need to be rewritten, the prince turns into a beast not the other way around!
ReplyDeleteI fear like a hipo, he'll eat our young, I fear they'll share my fears!
