NO QUESTION TO QUERY

Why bother to question another query
when the answer remains insane in theory.

Really?
why blame me for your lack of life
then claim that someday 
you will make me your wife.

Hand over the knife, I can't take the pain
you've sliced me enough, severed through every vein.
Yet again I came back to see what you gained.
Talk about crazy...that's your inane game!

I became so accustomed to all the abuse
I forgot about what I had put into use.
The absence of confidence tainted by truce.

Unjustified smiles were never worthwhile
especially when you involved my child.
Over and over you told me how bad
I am as a mother, yet you suck as a dad.
So I'll be glad when my daughter and son 
can finally see that I'm rid of you scum.

Don't think for a second that this poems for you
remembering all the good times?
they were few...
But a moment for myself to simply reflect
and rectify what little time I have left.

The last thing I recall is being pushed to the wall
and your head hitting mine in hopes that I'd fall.
Your fist was hovering, close over my face
you wanted to use it,
release your disgrace.

I sobbed as I left, I don't usually cry
but that morning was different
it meant my goodbye.
I took my time, 
you ask me why?
I just needed to see if your thoughts changed your mind.

But there was no phone call, 
to make sure I'm alright...
Nope you didn't care 
if I died on that night.

Maybe I'll keep me that way...
out of sight.
