I didn't wake up until he slapped me.
He first called me names.
The treacherous road to and from
domestic assault
is riddled with contradictions.
how could I have gotten myself into such a situation?
As an educated person
I have a good head on my shoulders
I am dumbfounded
how could I have gotten myself into such a situation?
By the time he beat me,
I was already beaten.
He didn't smack me right of way.
how could I have gotten myself into such a situation?
It began with playful words,
“You think you are all that”.
There was no sneer to them.
There was no contempt underlying them.
how could I have gotten myself into such a situation?
Those words were dropped
in between the giggles
and laughter
about jokes long forgetten.
I didn't wake up until he slapped me.
He first called me names.
