object
(a poem)
She was an object
She was his
To keep
To mistreat
Once he flew into
a jealous rage
Pinned her against the wall
And stuck his hand
Between her legs
Because he wanted
To “check”
If she had been
Unfaithful
While she was at work
Because he could tell
He would yell
In her face
“Whore”
And she believed
This was normal
Normal boyfriend behavior
And he only acted that way
Because he loved her
Loved her so much
And technically, it was her fault
For making him jealous
For making him act out
But she was only an object
That didn't know
Any better
