He slapped me across
The face once,
And then again, straight away.
Pulled me up by the scruff
Of me collar.
Squared up and got
Straight up in my face
Forehead to forehead.
‘You’re a dirty little slut’
He spat through his teeth
at me.
And then he kissed me
And I liked it.
And I wrote it down
Unashamed.
