Slap Happy

by Carlos F. Carter



SLAP!
SLAP!
SLAP!
In love he swong, fist clutched in rage
like a lion in a cage looking for the food
that was never brung by the woman he loved.
SLAP! SLAP! SLAP!
"PLAEASE DONT HIT ME NO MORE"
I LOVE YOU CANT YOU SEE"
but no she cant see for the love is too deep
she'll follow him anywhere, even in his sleep
"GET UP YOU STUPID BITCH! I'VE HAD ENUFF OF YOUR SHIT." EVERYTIME I HIT
YOU, YOU ASK ME TO QUIT!"
IT MEANS THAT I LOVE YOU TILL DEATH DO US PART
ILL KEEP YOUR BRUISES FOREVER
RIGHT HERE IN MY HEART."
SLAP!
SLAP!
SLAP!
she falls once again
the blood trickles down
around her mouth to her chin
her children are crying and running
in fear
looking for shelter from loved ones so near
SLAP!
SLAP!
SLAP!
he doesnt let up
his love is forever
her forever's enough
to let go and to live
for what life is meant for
that love's not deception
and it doesn't breed war
but, SLAP!, she'll, SLAP!, heal, SLAP!
her, SLAP!, wounds, SLAP! tomorrow
SLAP! and SLAP!, ignore, SLAP!, how,
SLAP!, he, SLAP!, can, SLAP! be.
her, SLAP! heart, SLAP! will, SLAP!,  relingquish, SLAP!, all, SLAP,
its', SLAP!
sorrow, SLAP!, and, SLAP!, she'll, SLAP!,
believe, SLAP!, once, SLAP!, again, SLAP!, how, SLAP!, he, SLAP!, makes,
SLAP!, her, SLAP!, happy!
