Day Two PAD 2016 – Write a he said or she said poem

That's What He Said










“She didn’t know what hit her.”

That’s what he said.

But I wanted her to know what'd hit her.

She wouldn’t have liked not knowing what hit her.
"She didn't feel a thing."

Wherever she is now…she is wondering and

Believe me; she’d want to know

and she’s mad as hell.

“She didn’t know what hit her.”

That’s what he said.

How does he know?

How could he know?

We don’t know.

Her pain may still be hurting 

Wherever she is now…

I look down at his shiny black shoes,

The ugly linoleum floor

With black skid marks

Stains from fluids and substances I could 
only imagine

Chips and scars in a floor

of people going too fast to 
get somewhere not in time.

”She didn’t know what hit her.”

That’s all he said.

Thanks for reading.
