Fugitive

Run lady run,
Run for your life,
They're chasing you,
With spears and knives.

I saw you through,
The pain you endure,
Silently; too proud to show.

Educated are you,
Rational left you,
Emotions caught you,
For the sake of two.

Woman of culture,
Society is pain,
What others think matter,
You feel shame.

You hung on to a marriage,
That you knew wouldn't survive,
But tried so hard to keep it,
To be a good wife.

He was not worth it,
The world knew,
But . . .
You gave him chances,
He threw.

Now you're standing on the ledge,
Leap no,
Stay no,
Sleep no,
Rest no,
Work no,
There is nothing left, Oh No!

Family in ruin,
Friends in vain,
Children in longing,
Wishing you came.

No freedom art thou,
Conceal thy face,
Lest anyone lurk around,
Would recognize thy pace.

Run lady, run lady,
Flee for your life,
For someone's sin,
You sacrifice!

About this poem:
This poem is about my colleague who is now a fugitive. She has two toddlers. Her worthless husband who is too lazy to work had forged her signature and taken many loans from individuals. He had fled as he is unable to pay and left his wife as a ransom for his blood suckers.

Mercy, Thank you for sharing this with us. Very good poem! I enjoyed it, I felt it too. I never realised such a thing could happen. It is a shame. They say, you never really know a person? You are so kind to think of her and I'm sure you do all you can to help her also. I will be praying for both of you. God Bless. Peace and Angel Hugs!

It struck me hard when I read your poem cos I had given myself Runaway as a user name. Truly I felt like the poem was written for me and suddenly it dragged me to the past for a while. I've Runaway for good and hope other who might be going through similar situation would help themselves to run free. Thank you for posting it.
