It was the sting from a slap for reasons unanswered and brushed away It was the cold tile on my knees As I reeled from the ghost of his touch The bile burning my throat raw Already hoarse from screaming “I said stop” “Why wouldn’t he stop?” I’ve been to hell already It was always at the hands of another No gods existence matters I’ve been to hell And I’ve been burnt beyond repair

Ive been to hell
It was the sting from a slap for reasons unanswered and brushed away It was the cold tile on my knees As I reeled from the ghost of his touch The bile burning my throat raw Already hoarse from screaming “I said stop” “Why wouldn’t he stop?” I’ve been to hell already It was always at the hands of another No gods existence matters I’ve been to hell And I’ve been burnt beyond repair
