Happy Ever After

My arms purple, I painted all night

From his mouth intoxicating smell came out

Waiting for my shiny knight

My suitcase packed but I doubt


From his mouth intoxicating smell came out

The night-long gone, the sun rose

My suitcase packed but I doubt

I watch roses fall while my eyes close


The night-long gone, the sun rose

Original copy of the day before

I watch roses fall while my eyes close

He sings while slamming the door


Original copy of the day before

Staying as quiet as a mouse

He sings while slamming the door

Saying I am the best spouse


Staying as quiet as a mouse

Freeing me of my chains

Saying I am the best spouse

A cross tattooed on my veins


The author's comments:

Since the author Fabiola Maynez was little, she was always drowned to problems. Thanks to her neighbors, she knew that they were not always happy endings, as many girls see in the princess movies. The author lived in an environment full of love, but she knew that there were many that weren’t as fortunate. Her poem talks about domestic violence and how the women feel and think while living it.
