Mahlet

face like Mehbuba, with a stunning smile

body like Gelilla, with a fashion and style

dark hair longer than a mid-winter night

confident, respectful with a soul full of light

everybody wanted her, ain't nobody seen better

catcalls, messages, even some love letter

the town loved and respected her mad

men lined up at her door, asking for her hand

rejected everyone, left everyone behind

see, girl is ambitious, got big dreams in her mind.

she an early bird, wakes up in the morning, to go to school,

leaves her house, greeting neighbors, smiling like a fool

studying all day comes home late from the library,

walks home alone, got no fear of the dark alley

 

meet x the thug, a tall guy with a scar on his face,

in and out of jail, for different crimes

nasty personality and nobody dared to look him in the eyes

he carries a knife and drags his fellow minions

see, it's been a while since x spotted the girl

followed her here and there, to know somethin abt her

tried to holla at her, even send her some gifts,

she returned them all, n told him she can't accept all these

he didn't stop, she yelled at him n told him he made her uncomfortable

starting a life with him, that's very unthinkable

he was never dared like that, embarrassed like that, his ego hurt

he vowed to make her his, to steal her love and heart

he tried everything but failed at every attempt

went possessive, he won't set her exempt

he waited one night, for her to come from school

in that scary alley, where darkness rule

he grabbed her from behind and caged her mouth with his hand

she tried to scream hard, but only a muffled sound

he took a small blade razor out of his back pocket

and hold it against her face, screaming, you're done now mahlet

he shaved her hair down, isn't this why ur agitated

he slit her face open, isn't this why ur so gutted

he slit her again and again until her face becomes unrecognized

she screamed her heart out, with every ounce of energy shes had

that's when we heard an ear-piercing shriek

we run out of the house, n saw other neighbors like us running towards the dark

there she was lying on the ground, with blood gushing out of her face n body

nobody knew it was her, it was a great tragedy

the town cried for her, we felt for her genuinely.

a few days later she woke up in a hospital bed, wishing she was dead

the girl with a beautiful soul, a beautiful mind and life full of color

turned into a different person, all because of one wicked man's demeanor
