Purse

I was certain he would hit me,
split my lip a bit,
just a sliver more than usual,

and I hated myself for letting him do that,
and for what it said about me,

and I knew they would send me away,
because of what I saw,
and because they were sure of what I would say,

but that was illogical,
silly even,

my tongue was tied,
and my lip was split
