Thank You
last night timid Anthony hid behind his bedroom door
while just the other night, he had hid at his desk to ignore the pain
Thump! Slap! Punch!
Anthony had shaked and twitched at each sound
Please stop! I’m sorry! No!
while salty tears and sweat left streaks down his face
Shut up! Be quiet! Here’s some more!
the seconds had felt like minutes and the minutes had felt like eternity...
then Anthony found himself from underneath his desk
setting grip onto the slim, heavy wood
making slow, easy paces as the adrenaline that seeped through his pores yearned for hastiness
Thump! Slap!-
Anthony had set high the wood and had quickly brought it down
with his famous “Out of the Park!” swing
Crack! Moan! Slump!
as the blood began to shed
brave Anthony then gently took hold of the bruised
yet breathing
body that whispered softly through her red swollen lips “Thank You”
