**THE BEAUTIFUL MATRIMONIAL AGONY**

Matrimonial harmony at first,

Not foreseeing the possibility of sweet agony at his fist.

Blinded by enraptured love's deceptive lure, Equipped with a service luxurious, sweetly forged and secure.

Melancholy played the trickiest song,

A psaltery and cymbal of a melody, a deceit act.

A pleasant courtship couldn't picture the hardship afar,

Courteous appearances of both genders weren't a fair affair.

Beautification of a stunning face was ignorantly pushed on by the agony of his fist. 

Her face became the light of the seen agony,

Beauty was no longer in the eyes of the beholder because of the consistent fisting on her.

A sweet light-up harmony was slid away in a blink of an eye,

Ending up seeing the wrapped-up acrimony.

The sweetness of a matrimonial alliance,

Became the beautiful matrimonial agony's defiance.

Dedicated to all mistreated women out there,

Enduring silently, in the shadow of despair.
