long ago i hit you we were in the car you were crazy in the back seat it had gone too far and i pulled the auto over hit you with all my might i knew right away it was too hard and i d never make it right i was aiming for your buttock but i struck your outer thigh you had on a bathing suit and right before our eyes suntanned skin turned crimson where the hand had hit and my palm stung from hitting you so hard that i hurt it against the law in sweden charges can be filed here it s all too common a parent hits a child on your face i saw the shock and then i saw the pain then i saw the look of fear the fear i d strike again then i saw your anger your defiant pride and then i saw one tear drop the rest you kept inside i said i was sorry i tried to clean the slate but with that blow i d sewn a seed i saw it was too late these days things are awful between me and you all we do is argue like two people who are through i blame you your friends your school your mother and mtv last night i almost hit you that blame belongs to me long ago i hit you we were in the car you were crazy in the back seat it had gone too far and i pulled the auto over and hit you with all my might i knew right away it was too hard i d never make it right
