What was our worth?

What was our worth?

Enraged she held her hands back
With a guine display of dismay on his face
He tried but failed to turn away
Instead... he heard this loud slap

Yet, he stood there unfazed
And thinking to himself
...Am I having a bad dream?
Did this girl just put hands on me?

How can this hurt feel so real?
She wonders will this guilt disappear
Will his love ever be sincere
Was she the fool to even go there?

She longs to make the pain stop
She screams to get the “F” out!
No stop! Pause then this loud shout!
“I need my keys,” With her hands held out

He turns, laughing with his pride in tack
Threw her keys on the floor
Grabbed the small bag he packed
He chose not to look back

She felt so small and yet so tall; conflicted
She watched as he walked out
Her feet now glued to the floor
But somehow she fell down
The time she heard the door as it closed

She struggles to get up
Inside she just hurts
How could he just give up?
What was our worth?
