Oscillate

10 years 

And things have turned

Upside down

The cheeks 

That were red

Then, blushing

Of love

Are the same,

Even today, 

But this time

With the marks

Of violence

She knows, 

This time

She'll leave

But right when 

She's packing

So certain

To leave

Kids call her

"Moooooooooooooooom"

As if 

She were

Destined to stay

And he kisses her

Ensuring their kids

She's right.

Yes, 

Right here

She oscillates

Between living 

For others 

And living for herself
