Rape and violence in marriage

She lays there in that messy bed

Full of sex stains, with the smell of sweat,

The sun breaks through a shard in the curtains

And dapples light upon her face,

Is this a bed where love was made

A in sensual, consensual union,

No, it’s a bed where sex was craved by a man who chose abusing,

And his wife knew better than to fight back

Her past bruises showed how he’d react,

He comes home from a night of drugs and drink and demands that she

Complies with all his depraved thoughts and his sick fantasies,

He treats her rough, and beats up, whatever gets him off

He treats her like a worthless thing,

And shows her very little respect

And she now believes that he is the best that she will get,

He stinks of booze and his tone is crude

He raped her anytime that she finds a voice to refuse,

And he tells she’s the lucky one, because no one else would ever fuck her

He treats her so worthless, treats her mean,

He does all he needs to control and own her,

She’s his filthy sex toy, that’s all she is to him,

He makes her cook then spits it out and says her cooking is shite

She apologises, because she has lost her self pride,

And he undermines her every chance he can

Then she becomes invisible to him,

She is just her whore and slave in the bed and the kitchen,

And very little else she does truly matters or interests him

He wanted to keep her bare foot and pregnant,

But thank God he has no fertile sperm him

For he is as impotent, which kind of defines his way if life,

He is a loser, a predator monster, and a rapist,

And just a worthless waste of oxygen,

And she hopes that karma catches up on him,

And pays him back for all he’s done to her.

  1. The act of rape and violence is only about the control. The man is lacking said control and feels infuriated about himself. Plus his condition. But he is a coward, and cowards work in mysterious ways that make no sense to us who r rational and look for good qualities in a person. His wife loves him thus makes her vulnerable to him and he uses this against her. What a hideous world we live in. Good write Faux. Touching subject for those who have survived an act similar to this in any way. May they find the strength to carry forth🙏🙏

  2. I think the Karma, as the other commentator said, is not the issue at hand although obviously very important, but karma for me was also how you wrote it.

    This is so sad, and even worse, I have an aunt who was in a situation very similar to this. She didn’t know her worth and made herself believe that what she had was love.

    1. It’s tragic I know and so many women suffer in silence rather than trying to stop it, believing in some kind of twisted way their man lives them. Heartbreaking really 😢🙏 Faux

      2. Blushing now 🤪, thank you, I just write what I feel and what I’ve seen or discovered through my own experiences or conscious thinking. (Sorry if that sounds profoundly pretentious 😂) 🙏🙏 Faux ♥️
