"It Started With A Slap" A Short Poem by Temisan Dudu

It started with a single slap

Back then during courtship

And I vowed I was going to leave him

He begged so much it became embarrassing

“Baby I am sorry,” he pleaded

“I will never lift a finger to hit you again,” he vowed

His friends begged claiming it was work pressure

What could I do? I loved him so much

I went against promise to self

I took him back

That was my undoing

It happened again in the second year of marriage... http://syncityng.com/2018/07/05/it-started-with-a-slap-a-poem-by-temisan-dudu/
