All I
Ever
Wa—-
—Slash——
Wanted
Was
To dance with
Slash! Slice
you.
all I ever heard was your
cutting edge
As I danced
Across the
Room
My hair swinging
In your fist
Slice
hack!
Whack.
Whip! Of your belt cracked
Against my heart beat
I danced like no one was watching
But
You
Were
Watching
Me
Yes,
You
Saw me fly !
Whack, thwack
Whawp!
Aww, poor
“Melissa….”
Oh God, oh God, I’m sorry sorry sorry sorry (through a non-physical conversation over a well cooked homemade dinner I was making, almost in time for him to come home)
“Melissa….I can’t believe
I did that
——-slap!”
To
Your
Beautiful
——fist of my hair tangled up with fury as I fall flat,
Face.

Glad that this is fictional for you. Wish it was fictional for everyone.

So powerful 😢
Spine-chilling. I like the way you used fonts to highlight the direction and severity of the blows - very good storytelling.
