The Blue Sweater.....


It was the first day of october, I was wearing the blue sweater the one you loved at a local market? The one with a double knitted hem with holes at the end of the sleeves, that I could poke my thumbs through, when it was cold but i didn't like wearing gloves? It was the same sweater you said made my eyes look like reflection of stars in the ocean...
You promised me to love me forever that night.....
And Boy did you EVER?
It was the first day of December, I was wearing the blue sweater the one you loved at a local market? The one with a double knitted hem with holes at the end of the sleeves, that I could poke my thumbs through, when it was cold but i didn't like wearing gloves? It was the same sweater you said made my eyes look like reflection of stars in the ocean...
I told you i was three weeks late..
You said it was fate...
You promised to love me forever that night....
And Boy Did you EVER??
It was the first day of May, I was wearing my blue sweater,although the double stitched hem had now worn out,and the strength of  each thread tested as they were pulled tight against my growing belly. You know the one. one you loved at a local market? The one with a double knitted hem with holes at the end of the sleeves, that I could poke my thumbs through, when it was cold but i didn't like wearing gloves? It was the same sweater you said made my eyes look like reflection of stars in the ocean...
The SAME sweater you RIPPED OFF my body as you shoved me to the floor,
Calling me a whore..
Telling me you didn't love me anymore...
Beat beat pause..
Beat beat pause..
Beat beat pause..
Is the sound of my heartbeat you hear..
Beat beat pause..
Beat beat pause..
Do you hear that sound? Ofcourse you don't..
Its the sound of my silent womb..
BECAUSE YOU RIPPED OFF MY SWEATER..
