Today I was unbuttoned
I had my tongue raddled
By the force of your fist
I let you punch me
And slap me
I deserved it
Stinging my skin
Screaming your hate in my face
Betrayel
But your tiny fists did not hurt me
Nor did your white palm on my cheek
It was your silence and your tears
That hurt the worst

Today I was unbuttoned
I had my tongue raddled
By the force of your fist
I let you punch me
And slap me
I deserved it
Stinging my skin
Screaming your hate in my face
Betrayel
But your tiny fists did not hurt me
Nor did your white palm on my cheek
It was your silence and your tears
That hurt the worst
