Maybe (for DU Comp)

 The first time she slapped me
She cried
She cried for hours
She said sorry so many times
She seemed contrite
It caught me of guard
Totally unexpected
The first time she slapped me

The second time she slapped me
She punched me as well
She cried for a short spell
And argued that I made her do it
She seemed less guilty
More righteous
After all I was a cripple

The third time she slapped me
She punched and kicked me
It turned into a beating
Like the ones I got
When I was a child
Apparently she hated, loathed
My wheelchair
Despite it’s sporty look
She hated it
And me in it

I have lost count now
I am unable to keep her off
I can’t defend myself
Onslaught after onslaught
My tears and pleading
Just make it worse
If I don’t complain
Maybe she’ll stop
Maybe
