The Beat

"I love you," he says
"But you must obey
And if you don't
There'll be hell to pay"

And his hand came down

"It's for your own good"
Lifeless eyes, cold and dark
She never made a sound
Striking - branding her heart

As his hand came down

"I love you, I love you"
Repeatedly
She listened to the beat
Rhythmically

His hand came down
His hand came down

Domestic violence is never okay. If you're a man and you're beating your wife or children, you're a coward and you need to grow a pair, or two.
