The Dream

Now I understand. I see why marriages have bad PR and many would rather play around than settle down for you men. You knew my past and you made me relive it. This time was even worse. I thought Kunle would be my last failed relationship, but I married you, Femi. You beast of a man! A wolf in sheep's clothing. How can someone so kind be so evil? You're the angel and the devil. A coin I wish I never had.


How naive I was, but then not a single soul warned me, because nobody could see this coming.


Is a nightmare a dream?


When we exchanged vows, I thought this would be forever.


Did you ever love me?


I still tell myself that you did because it lessens my pain. But how could you?


Femiiiiiiiiii


Who would raise these children?


Maybe I shouldn't have been more than your therapist?


I let your vulnerabilities blur my vision. I let myself love you. Perhaps you should have only been my client. We said till death do us part, but you actively tried to make me part with life.


You first gave me roses and later made me relive the 'Purple Hibiscus'.


Who knew the very person who ruled my world would later stop my glow?


Smooth Criminal! That's who you are. No, that's who you were. You did this to me, to us.


Was I not enough?


Where did I go wrong?


I always forgave you and that was my biggest mistake.


You cheated, abused our kids, beat me for fun, and later gave me flowers. At least this time the jokes are on you. I brought flowers to your grave. I'll wake up behind bars for the rest of my life happy knowing my children will finally have a taste of freedom. Sometimes loyalty during the day is to secure vengeance at night.


Bisi: Ahhhhhhh (Screaming and breathing heavily).


Femi: (Shouting) Ohhhhh, what's wrong with you this woman?


Bisi: I had a nightmare (still panting).


Femi: May your nightmares become real. You're a useless woman. I will deal with you. (Pushes her off the bed and she falls on some flowers).


To be continued.....


Maybe!
