Broken Skull

She stepped on my head
her bare foot, my bare breath
against the coldness of the floor

Unable to move, unable to escape
Spitting truths at my face
but I could only perceive
the grossness of her spittle

I preferred the sweet flavor
that had the red fluid of hers.
The day was tense
A second wouldn't dare to move onto the next

I laughed
Oh, the irony!
The situation couldn't have worn the most ironic sense
She was the fragile—even more fragile than me—but it was me
who laid
Under her will

I wanted to at least
Caress the dermis of her leg
She stomped once more—too strong—on my face
In the room now layed
a broken skull, a relieved breath

It cracked easily, for her
mine was just an empty head.
