SLAP!

SLAP!

The smirk

Slithers,

Slips,

Slides,

from your face.

 

Your eyes glaze over

Pride is your life boat.

 

I snap my hand back

Like you are burning.

You don’t deserve my skin.

 

One last time,

My eyes sweep your face

I am satisfied with my creation.

 

Your smirk

Slithers,

Slips,

Slides,

Onto my lips.

 

On the walk home

My chance arises!

You smirk.

And sulkily, I slink away.
