The Slap wasn't kinky or fun like a slap on the buns/Anger permeated the air like ozone
Once/upon time/they locked/doors/tore clothes/off/with teeth/hours/passed from/sunrise/to/sunset/loves musk perfumed sofa pillows/hall carpet burns/Love unbound/
Hour/pon/hour /alone
Gone! Love/Gone!
Replaced with desires of escape/revenge/hatred and fear of being alone with once/loved one
Alone!
Her face swollen/fear pumped through her heart and veins/Her date/eyes glazed/words putrid projectiles/foamed mouth/tongue insane/He slapped/He punched/He kicked/He screamed! He no longer the love of her life/Respect/Manhood and dignity burned and blowing away like menthol scented ashes
Her face pulp/her will shaken /but now unmovable/love gone/love gone/Next day/
phone calls/sweet words/mean nothing/flowers /engagement rings/ tombstones/monuments of dead love/love now wrong/love gone!
Young fiery passion/now smoldering ember ashes/wedding bell/sweat stained sheet/jasmine scented walks in the sunset/now/rainy/obsidian/black funeral masses!

I hope it's not for any of us. But if it is...I'm sorry!
I totally get this poem and I echo the last. I never could condone DV.
No matter how it's packaged, violence against another human is just wrong.

Great post.
DM violence is wrong in so many ways, yet a lot of ppl have hard time leaving abusive relationship.
