| My five eldest children have all departed to school for the day, but to young Katy I can’t even start toexplain that I just can’t keep the Monster at bay! Last night it erupted oh so strong and until I’m healed I must hide away with shame from the outside world! I can barely even open my swollen eyes; maybe it’s just as well? Who the image belongs to as I look in the mirror, I can hardly even tell! My crime? I went innocently for an afternoon tea and a chat with a friendly neighbour, simply an on the spot invitation. The Monster has always insanely reacted if it should discover that I’ve with anyone interacted! During my years as a gullible teenage girl it felt so warm and safe to be so fiercely protected. I was simply too blind, for my long term future to see. How delighted I was, when I learnt that this possessive Demon had eyes only for me! Each time another boy shot me the admiring eye, the Demon’s temper it would oh so fiercely fly! How could I ever have been so stupidly naïve, regarding thoughts of never becoming its victim to crazily believe? |
After two years of marriage and already tied down with a child, became my closed doors situation so frightfully wild!
My cold hearted Mum and Dad were devoid of any sympathy. The only consolation that they could say was,” dear daughter you’ve made your bed so now it is your duty in it till Death Us do Part to lay! Once upon a time I thought that this living nightmare would eventually go away. For each time I conceived the Monster’s possession and brutal beatings were kept well at bay! Alas when each child became school age resumed the Monster’s cruel vile treatment and ever jealous rage! Can’t go anywhere for I’ve hardly a penny to my name, if I hadn’t my children to live for I’d surely by now have gone insane! Maybe one day there’ll be an end to this mental torment, so many times I’ve rehearsed it inside my head! One day he’ll return to our home to find his suffering wife Stone Dead! |
