The slap that turned my face dark red
A crimson blush from mouth to ear
Was the spark that drew me to
To a place, far from here
A slap that ended callous words
Words that stung, like acid scarred
Left a blemish in my heart
Forever more, our love is marred
Far from here, I'm out of reach
Beyond the danger of your hold
A shelter from your wicked ways
A place to live, and to grow old.
