Marriage

M is for marriage



Peaches and cream is what he wanted

Coffee and chocolate is what he got.

He kicked and shoved and pushed

The bruises healed but the scars remained.

  12. Ouch. This is so so sad. I know that a person's skin colour often determines their desirability in this country, but it is so so sad to see it.

  17. Damn... what a hard-hitting well written post. It's so common as well. The scars never heal actually and leave a mark like never before.
