Madonna Bitch
By La Belle Rouge


madonna bitch
was that her name, bitch?
she learned to answer to it
her real name unspoken, forgotten

her young dreams negated
her self respect shredded
someone less than anyone
only a bitch despised

her soul lays low again
no where to go
no one to turn to
death could be a friend

she would call death
but one son kicks her ribs
and the other asks
for a glass of milk

madonna bitch
lies still on the bed
life fleeting, heart failing
second son moves inside her

first son plays on the floor
a good child but cold
to her touch and she wonders
why he can’t love her

and she wonders why
his father can’t love her
she’s only a bitch to him
bitch, unknown, unloved

somebody’s daughter
somebody’s sister
somebody’s mother
only his bitch

and she thinks
what’s the use in living
then her son’s pale eyes
look into hers

the lives of two little men
stand between her and oblivion
sons of her womb
center of her heart

even a bitch nurtures her whelps
she can’t leave them
so she endures and waits
for the chain to be broken

I wiped away my tears while reading this poignant too true poem. We are brought up to accept "bitch" and various words to the same effect. Men only understand one thing Power okay and then there is the money from which the power comes from. Hit them there or forget it. Bravo for speaking up. Excellent poem from the master Liz

She sounds complex yet simply human like the rest of us... and who will dare cast the first stone?

This is an incredibly good write, as I've come to expect of you!

I wouldn't pity her, that would be a put-down to all those pure qualities inside her, and step on a rose with the same contempt that those using the bitch epitet.

Excellent write, Belle! There are a lot of this going on in the world. Many women sacrifices themselves for sake of children, even when their men take them for granted.

This one not only pulls but yanks at the heart of a father...because as one and seeing my own daughter and her children finally getting out of an abusive situation I can realate to this all too well.
