The sound of your slap
Still hanging in the air
Go ahead, tell me again
Why I’m supposed to care
Your cigarette burning my skin
Telling me I’m fat
When I ought to be thin
Telling me I’m ugly
Telling me I’m old
Hit me again and
Punch me threefold
This time I’ll leave
I’ll be brave, I’ll be bold
Sorry you’ll say
Wont do it again
But your mouth it lies
another part of me dies
Bruises, I hide them
Cruel words, I deny them
Black, blue, purple, green
Colours of your love
That stay unseen
