about Beating Hearts

I don't really think it's domestic violence, because he's never hit me.

He's very successful. Everything he touches turns to gold. And I guess it just kind of went to his head. He used to be so funny and charming. He used to adore me. But now he's just mean.

Yesterday he threw the credit card at me and said, right in front of his buddies, "Go buy yourself three or four pairs of Gucci loafers and shut the fuck up."

I just acted like I didn't even hear him. I held my head up and kept right on smiling.

A lady doesn't lower herself, you know?
