He stripped off my clothes passionately
And I stood in front of him unashamed
Waiting for his longing hands to sweep all over me
But instead he looked aside in disgust
My nakedness was no longer as appealing as before
I was no longer appetising
It is at that moment I felt so naked and empty
Although I was carrying his offspring
He hated me because I conceived against his will
No kids, we had promised each other
But did I not take the morning after pill on time?
My strong biology background would never allow me to falter
But it is at this one time that science failed me
And I felt so naked that I hated every fibre of my being
Why did I ever allow him to take off my clothes so that he could look at me in distaste?
He acrimoniously whispered in a hostile voice,
“Get rid of that bloody monster and I can enjoy you once again…”
He banged the door leaving me naked and dumbstruck
Why had I conceived against all odds?
That instant thought made me once again find pride in my nakedness
And I vowed to keep that which was growing within me
He would never see me naked ever ever again
So, I dressed up and left the cursed room feeling blessed and whole again
